Veteran cartoon voice actor Dick Beals died earlier this week. He was known for his perpetually child-like voice, which he provided for such characters as Davey from Davey And Goliath, Buzz, the child genius friend/master of Frankenstein Jr. and the iconic Speedy Alka-Seltzer mascot, among others.

From the cartoon series Roger Ramjet, he was also at least one of the American Eagle Squadron (Dan and/or Dee -- sometimes Dick and Joanie Gerber would trade off who voiced who). Both Beals and Gerber can be heard singing the famous Roger Ramjet theme song:



And here's another "Roger" whom Beals voiced personally. This educational film, produced by Jam Handy circa 1950, is believed to be the first cartoon that he ever lent his voice to:



Thanks for the memories, Dick.
