(Animation historian Jeff Lenberg was there too. I think we were invited because Lazzo wanted to meet us. I had already met several times before this with Betty Cohen). What a treat it was. We literally spent a day together hanging out (I forget which hotel, but I think it was The Four Seasons) and talking about what CARTOON NETWORK could be and what made the old cartoons so great. They gave us all jackets and schwag (which I still have!), fed us a great dinner and we all put our handprints in cement at a ceremony at a Melrose art gallery that night. I brought with me a printed list of ideas to present to Mike Lazzo, and in time most of them were actually accomplished. One of those ideas, a special called LOST WARNER BROS. CARTOONS, became TOONHEADS: THE LOST CARTOONS (viewable these days on Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 1). Those were the days... I was also a part of that Cartoon Advisory Board meeting.
