(I've seen the Crusader Rabbit Stealth Band but until I read that obit I never knew there was an actual Crusader Rabbit.)

Anderson created the characters originally, but was not involved in the animated TV show - that was Jay Ward.
Not to mention the cool voices like June Foray.

Ha, we put up a route at Crow Hill called 'The Wizard' because one of us (Marco Fedrizzi I think) started yelling 'Help me Mr. Wizard! Help me!" while blowing the crux.

"He later said he felt he had not received credit for his creations and won a lawsuit against Jay Ward Productions in 1993 that recognized him as the creator of the first versions of Rocky, Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right."

I wonder where the base jumpers got the idea for their squirrel suits?
And what about Dean's nickname?

Hokey smokes!
Jay Ward, the head of the circus, was a Berkeley grad. When I was a student there, the band had an intro to "Fight for California" (aka "The Sturdy Golden Bear") that began with the theme from Dudley Do-Right. The UCLA band had the theme from Rocky & Bullwinkle in their repertoire. Good times for Rocky & Bullwinkle fans -- like me.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was how I kept up with the subtlety of the Cold War when I was a little kid ;0

Rest in peace and thanks for the laughs...
Love those Fractured Fairy Tales too...Very obscure FA on Rappel Rock in Tucson that I did with Bobbi Bensman back when she was still a pilgrim bears that name.
