Alex Anderson, who created the cartoon characters Rocky and Bullwinkle, died in Carmel, California recently. He was 90 years old.
I grew up around the time the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle the Moose were constant television companions. I enjoyed the puns, some of which were outrageously funny. The characters were great fun, more in tune with adult tastes than anything a child would truly grasp. Each episode showed a sense of playfulness, of not taking life too seriously, of wit and occasional wisdom.
Here's a link to Rocky & Bullwinkle's Opening Theme.
