Plus some Robin Leach, who hosted Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. I know the Vanderbunny name was inspired by the Vanderbilts and a college friend named Barb (Babs) Vanderwhiel. Anyone else have thoughts on what real people, characters or performers influence Babs and Buster's Vanderbunny personas?Tom Rueggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509448730816934205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-15011079989546333982012-06-05T10:01:03.345-07:002012-06-05T10:01:03.345-07:00Who are Buster & Babs parodying when they are ...Who are Buster & Babs parodying when they are the Vanderbunnys?Babs Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371323917001874147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-21195236531171333242012-05-25T19:04:34.006-07:002012-05-25T19:04:34.006-07:00Babs: without doing some research, I cannot answe...Babs: without doing some research, I cannot answer these 3 questions.

Am I right that this couple http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu78/FATtimon/whoarethey.png are called Lloyd & Bernice?<br />2. What are these cats called? http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu78/FATtimon/whoarethey2.png ?<br />3. Does this sibling of Babs Bunny have a name? http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu78/FATtimon/babssis.jpgBabs Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371323917001874147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-82481230472047463852011-11-12T22:19:52.813-08:002011-11-12T22:19:52.813-08:00I know that Jon McClenahan and Startoons worked wi...I know that Jon McClenahan and Startoons worked with Glen even before I knew that they were working with Glen. I was not aware of Jon and Startoons' involvement until Glen left the show. Jon came to LA to try to line up some work for Startoons and, after he was turned down by an exec (not me) at Warner Bros. Animation, I happened to bump into him in the elevator as he was leaving, we talked, and he didn't leave after all. (The first time I noted Jon's great work: some top-notch scenes he animated of Whopper on Pound Puppies year before while he lived in Australia.)Tom Rueggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509448730816934205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-61898856003357852062011-11-12T16:32:17.448-08:002011-11-12T16:32:17.448-08:00Yeah the campfire is a trademark scene from Acme B...Yeah the campfire is a trademark scene from Acme Bowl in my book. <br />Didn't Chicago's StarToons animate a bunch of scenes in this episode too?
