Description of Pictures: A Celebration of Walt Kelly's 100th Birthday
The creator of one of comics' great newspaper strips, Walt Kelly, would have been 100 years old on August 25th of this year. His magnum opus, Pogo, is now receiving its first ever complete reprinting in an Eisner Award-nominated series from Fantagraphics Books. So it's a good time to remember him with Kelly fans Jeff Smith (Bone), Paul Dini (Batman), comic historian R. C. Harvey, Maggie Thompson (Comic Buyer's Guide), Carolyn Kelly (co-editor of the Complete Pogo series and Walt's daughter), and moderator Mark Evanier (Groo the Wanderer). NOTE: Carolyn Kelly couldn't make the panel.
Panelists (left to right): Mark Evanier, Jeff Smith, RC Harvey, Maggie Thompson, and Paul Dini.
In the audience included David Silverman and Wally Burr.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter S. Burr (born June 2, 1924) also credited as Wally Burr and Walter Burr is an American voice actor and director.
As the voice director for the original Generation 1 cartoon and The Transformers: The Movie, Burr has had many stories told of him by actors on the show, who universally recall his perfectionist recording sessions as exhausting, voice-straining experiences, to the point that Michael Bell jokingly implicated the strain involved as the cause of Orson Welles's death. He has also filled in roles for regular voice actors who were unavailable for taping.
He voice directed several other cartoons during the 1980s, such as G.I. Joe, Inspector Gadget, Spider-Man and some voices he has done include The Atom on Superfriends, Emmett Benton on Jem and the Holograms, Huang Zhong in Dynasty Warriors, and Rock in Soulcalibur. He has also filled in roles for regular voice actors who were, at the time, unavailable for the recording session.

Bigger photos? To save space on the server and because the modern camera images are so large, photos larger than 640x480 have not been loaded on this page. If you need the bigger sizes of selected photos, email me and I can email them back to you or I can re-load this page temporarily with the bigger versions restored.
