I just found this on the wires: Bill Melendez, animator of Peanuts and voice of Snoopy, has passed away.
Not to be cliché but a bit of my childhood just died as well. I can remember watching the holiday specials whenever they came on, cheering for Charlie Brown in “Race for your life, Charlie Brown” enjoying whatever Snoopy and Woodstock would get into. This mans work was a big part of my young years…
May the Red Barron never get you, Bill.
