Remarking the sad passing of James Carter Cathcart
4 months ago
"I remember Owen you a hug,
You Otter get one!"
"Helloe, it's Chloe!"
You Otter get one!"
"Helloe, it's Chloe!"
Getting out of work last night I was greeted with some sad news from pop culture.
Voice actor and all around good guy James Cathcart passed away yesterday.
I'm seeing dozens of shout-outs about his extensive work in anime, especially in Pokémon as Professor Oak, Gary, and James, and other incidental voices.
However, my anime Telegram chat for furries who like anime posted a tribute image and I saw a face in his body of work banner behind him I did not expect.
Children of the 80s, stand in reverse rank and prepare to give Captain O.G. Readmore his disposition at sea.
I did not know this man's career spanned THAT FAR BACK.
I thrive on nostalgia for 80s cartoons I grew up with, and these charming and corny but earnest PSAs with that cat encouraging children to read really were a fond, if goofy, memory for me.
I'm often surprised when characters I remember fondly from way back have actors who have still been active ever since.
We always hear about Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen and Cree Summer.
Where were our convention appearance lines for Susan Blu? Morgan Lofting? Pat Fraley? Michael Bell? Neil Ross?
I feel bad when I remember that there were many more stars in the star-studded 1980s Saturday Morning lineup than any of us, me included, give credit for. Especially when I learn they are - or WERE - still going up until a certain point, largely unnoticed, until ... they're not.
Just feeling maudlin and mourning for James Carter Cathcart, and all the voices of fun in our childhoods, from the 1980s through the 1990s to today, and the fact that we can't remember them all, and nobody lives forever.
Smell ya later, Gary
Blast off forever, James
Prof. Oak, thanks for the Pokédex
Three volleys for Capt. Readmore
