His dog cartoons, including Judge Rummy, evolved into the strip Silk Hat Harry's Divorce Suit. This was accompanied by a one-panel gag series called Indoor Sports which became his main feature, along with an occasional Outdoor Sports. Dorgan is generally credited with either creating or popularizing such words and expressions as "dumbbell" (a stupid person); "for crying out loud" (an exclamation of astonishment); "cat's meow" and "cat's pajamas" (as superlatives); "applesauce" (nonsense); "cheaters'" (eyeglasses); "skimmer" (a hat); "hard-boiled" (a tough person); "drugstore cowboy" (loafers or ladies' men); "nickel-nurser" (a miser); "as busy as a one-armed paperhanger" (overworked); and "Yes, we have no bananas," which was turned into a popular song. His obituary also credited him as the originator of "Twenty-three, Skidoo," "solid ivory," "Dumb Dora," "finale hopper," "Benny" for hat, and "dogs'" for shoes. W. J.

Walter Lantz 1899, cartoonist, animator, film producer, and director. As the head of his own animation studio, Lantz was responsible for the creation of the first Technicolor cartoon. He also introduced the cartoon characters Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Andy Panda, Chilly Willy, and Woody Woodpecker. By the age of 16, Lantz was working in the animation department under director Gregory La Cava. Lantz then worked at the John R. Bray Studios on the Jerry On The Job series. In 1924, Lantz directed, animated, and even starred in his first cartoon series, Dinky Doodle. In 1928, Lantz was hired by Charles B. Mintz as a director on the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon series for Universal. Earlier that year, Mintz and his brother-in-law George Winkler had succeeded in snatching Oswald from the character's original creator, Walt Disney. Universal president Carl Laemmle became dissatisfied with the Mintz-Winkler product and fired them, deciding instead to produce the Oswalds directly on the Universal lot. While schmoozing with Laemmle, Lantz wagered that if he could beat Laemmle in a game of poker, the character would be his. As fate would have it, Lantz won the bet, and Oswald was now his character. In September 1929, Lantz finally put out his first cartoon, Race Riot. When Oswald had worn out his welcome, Lantz decided that he needed a new character. Meany, Miny and Moe (three ne'er-do-well chimps), Baby-Face Mouse, Snuffy Skunk, Doxie (a comic dachshund) and Jock and Jill (monkeys that resembled Warner Brothers' Bosko) were some of the personalities Lantz and his staff had come up with. However, one character, Andy Panda, stood out from the rest and soon became Lantz's headline star for the 1939-1940 production season. Lantz debuted Woody Woodpecker in an Andy Panda short, Knock Knock. The brash woodpecker character was similar to the early Daffy Duck, and Lantz liked the results enough to build a series around it. Mel Blanc supplied Woody's voice for his first three cartoons. The voice talent then fell on Ben Hardaway, who was the main force responsible for Knock Knock. Despite this change, Blanc's distinctive laugh was still used throughout the cartoons. In 1950, Lantz held anonymous auditions. Grace, Lantz's wife, had offered to do Woody's voice; however, Lantz turned her down because Woody was a male character. Not discouraged in the least, Grace went about secretly making her own anonymous audition tape, and submitted it with the others for the studio to listen to. Not knowing whose voice was being heard, Lantz picked Grace's voice to do Woody Woodpecker. Grace supplied Woody's voice until the end of production in 1972.

Here's one of those days when two people get to celebrate both being main characters in a TV series together and also share a birthday. In this case it's Lee Majors who played Steve Austin, and Alan Oppenheimer who played Dr. Rudy Wells. Rudy not only helped create the bionic portion of Steve but put Steve back together again from time to time. Not to forget anyone I must also note that it is Marcel Hillaire's birthday today. Marcel appeared as a customs inspector in the TV movie, The Six Million Dollar Man: Solid Gold Kidnapping, in 1973 which was the last of two movies just before the series started.

I must say that the Six Million Dollar Man had a great influence on me as a kid. It spurred my imagination and taught me to run and move in slow motion all the while making the sound effects to the motion. It also gave me the ability to raise one eyebrow without moving the other. Such facial movements have come in handy over the years. So let's all celebrate their birthdays with a slow motion run around our desks, apartments, or wherever you are. You may also have noted the center fellow, Richard Anderson, who played Oscar Goldman is dwelling within the picture. You'll be able to read more about him on August 8th.


Enjoy !!

Bettie Page would have been 87 years old today. Bettie was an icon whose image crossed so many genres. Bettie influenced many artists, models and even hairstylists or more specifically, their clientele. It's tough to walk through any downtown metropolis without seeing a Bettie Page hairstyle. Her style is now a statement with some women of today . It states independence, attitude and a sense of brash boldness that I hope will carry on for years to come. The mini-biography below will give you a better idea of who she was and why she has left her mark on the world.

Bettie Page 1923, pin-up queen / actress, model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. She has often been called the "Queen of pinups". Her look, including her jet black hair and trademark bangs, has influenced many artists. She was also one of the earliest Playmates of the Month (January 1955) for Playboy magazine. In the early 1980s, comic book artist Dave Stevens based the female love interest of his hero Cliff Secord (alias "The Rocketeer") on Page. In 1987, Greg Theakston started a fanzine called The Betty Pages and recounted tales of her life, particularly the camera club days. For the next seven years, the magazine sparked a worldwide interest in Page. Women dyed their hair and cut it into bangs in an attempt to emulate the "Dark Angel". The media caught wind of the phenomenon and wrote numerous articles about her, more often than not with Theakston's help. After Jim Silke made a large format comic featuring her likeness, Dark Horse Comics published a comic based on her fictional adventures in the 1990s. Eros Comics published several Bettie Page titles, the most popular being the tongue-in-cheek Tor Love Bettie which suggested a romance between Page and wrestler-turned-Ed Wood film actor, Tor Johnson. For sci-fi fans, The BD-3000 luxury droid in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was inspired by Bettie Page.
