The greatest Bugs opponent was a late-comer, Yosemite Sam, all violence and animosity.Once he was well on his way as Warners' Man of a Thousand Voices, he asked for a raise, which his cheap employer wasn't likely to go for, or for a credit. A credit in a cartoon? But at least it didn't cost anything so Blanc got his credit and people noticed. He started getting hired for radio and later TV shows. He started out doing bits on Jack Benny's show and wound up on many more shows, including the Abbott and Costello Show, and headlined his own radio show briefly. One of the best bits ever on Benny's program was the "Si-Si" routine in which Mel is a Mexican wearing a sombrero (Are you going to New York?" Si. Are you takling Flight 18? Si. Si? Si.....and so on.) (You can find it on YouTube. It's hysterical. Blanc keeps a straight face and Benny loses it everytime.)Having recently read Lou Costello's daughter's biography of her dad, it was interesting to read Blanc's comments about how the two rarely spoke to each other but were so attuned to their specialty and so professional they could get on stage or before a camera and start cooking like they were best buds.Blanc's autobiography covers his life, talking about he liked to plays with dialects and voices as a kid. Doing a crazy laugh in an empty school hallway whose acoustics he admired got him a visit to the principal and many years later became Woody Woodpecker's trademark laugh.Blanc regretted the loss of quality with the full animation technique in the 1960's when the number of drawings for a cartoon were reduced in a time- and-cost-saving measure. Movements became jerkier, less natural, but he enthusiastically did his best for every one of the jobs he was hired for.The book continues through his life, up and through the car accident in 1960 that left him in a body cast with almost every bone in his body broken. When his doctor, after many days of coma, tried to rouse him, he had a light bulb moment and asked, "How are you, Bugs Bunny?" Blanc replied as Bugs, "I'm fine, doc, how're you?"Later, from his hospital bed, Blanc would do his lines as Barney Rubble for the hit Flintsones TV show as his co-star voice actors stood alongside.This is an excellent book. You gotta love a book that has back cover testimonials from Vincent Price, Lucille Ball, Kirk Douglas, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, and Daffy Duck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little man who earned the respect of a nation *by K***8 on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2013* It is a heart warming to share the life of this remarkable man. He does not pull punches but he is also kind and generous to so many people he met across the breadth of American entertainment. He remembered how difficult it was to become a rare voice talent and gifted comedian. He recognized the people who traveled that difficult road with him. His tribute to Jack Benny fits nicely with the testimony given by the men and women who were all Benny fans.He also gives rare insight into the difficult world for which he is most known: A voice artist for decades of cartoons. Those hundreds of WB cartoons never listed more than a handful of names. But really hundreds of people worked on each one. As Mel said, instead of giving him a raise they put his name in that small list who got screen credit. That credit was worth ten times his salary because it finally opened the doors that had been closed to him.The book was written while he was still alive. He was full of hope and energy even after so many decades. He never let anythingstop him. What a rare person he was. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Breezy, fun, informative, a must for animation fans *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019* Mel Blanc shares his story with all the humor, candor, and fascinating details I'd hoped for. The master of voice overs remained a humble, hard working guy as he entertained millions. We're lucky his work survives to entertain countless future generations. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/88428053-thats-not-all-folks-paperback-november-1-1989](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/88428053-thats-not-all-folks-paperback-november-1-1989) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
