Underdog and Joe Harris - The REAL Story Behind a Great Cartoon Hero

Meet the cartoonist behind Underdog and the Trix rabbit: Joe Harris!

I just listened to this amazing in-depth interview for the second time...It's the kind of interview you NEVER get to hear...the unromantic and TRUE story about the way cartoons get made and the REAL life of a cartoonist. All the ups and downs. Genius stuff. One for the time capsule.
