Mr. Cartoon Passed Away this Afternoon

Sad day for all who grew up watching.

I was in the "crowd" on tv at least twice that I can remember.

Sad.

Beeper weeps.......

What a fine man. He impacted the lives of thousands of young children.

I remember my Cub Scout troop being on.. Very sad loss for the community.

Hi Cartooners!

And remember the four magic words..."please", "thank you", "you're welcome", and excuse me".

And be sure to visit the church or synagogue of your choice.

I got to see him live one time when he came to Williamson. Great show.

Started watching Mr. Cartoon before I started kindergarten (circa mid-70s). Spent a fun birthday watching Mr. Cartoon live from the Huntington studio, along with two precious cousins and a couple of neighbors. I knew the format of the show so well that I insisted on acting as a producer for Mr. Huffman for much of the telecast. Mr. Huffman asked my mother if I always talked that much or was it nervous chatter; she confirmed that I did (in fact) talk that much.

RIP Mr. Huffman. You've earned your reward.
