**This one Hurts...** **Bless you, #EricBauza...**
Justin HartHost
As I'm sure you all have heard by now, Bowser passed away on October 25th of an apparent heart attack.
And it's one of the sadder realities of life that sometimes they just take people away at a time when it's far earlier for a person to be taken away.
So forgive me if I'm a little more emotional about this passing than most other ones.
And, you know, the resume that Bowser had stretches... well beyond his own lifetime.
It could stretch over several dozen lifetimes, to tell you the truth, because between being literally the entirety of the Looney Tunes right now, I mean, he was the voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and Foghorn Leghorn and Porky Pig, the Roadrunner, Elmer Fudd...
Even the ancillary characters, people like Gossamer, the big giant red monster that wears sneakers.
Charlie Dog, who was very much a wise guy kind of dog that, you know, you be my owner and I'll be, you know what I mean.
I mean, pretty much anything in the Warner Brothers catalog and say what you will about Warner Brothers in the condition that it's in right now, at least, you know.
At least he was able to keep the legacy going, and by the way, see Coyote vs. Acme if you haven't already.
He was a voice in this movie called Buddy, which was a very subversive take on the whole Barney preschool thing, but with horror to the nth degree.
I don't even know where to begin to rattle off his resume other than to say it's on Wikipedia.
The thing that really is terrible about all of this is the fact that Bowser carried on a legacy that was... carried on by other people who themselves were iconic in the voiceover industry.
