I wonder if it was such a coincidence that Hanna Barbera would wind up with TWO characters sounding exactly like Joe. E. Brown? It does make one wonder how Lippy the Lion and Peter Potamus would react if they ever met...

Still, gotta give Daws Butler props for his skill and acting. And anyway, Lippy and Pete's cartoons are tons more fun than what we're stuck with today, ah reckon.
