I was watching ABC News’ This Week (on Monday, as usual), when I came across this note during the “In Memorium” section:
Myron Waldman, 97 — Animator who drew Betty Boop, Casper, Popeye and the original Superman cartoon series.
And I almost missed it.
I have one batch of those original Superman cartoons on DVD, Popeye was my first hero, and I’m sure I’ve seen some of Waldman’s other work as well.
Myron Waldman: one of those people I’ll miss, even though I didn’t know his name.
