From Karen Carnegie Johnson

The animation community lost one of its own yesterday, Emmy-award-winning writer, Earl Kress. As Vice-President of The Animation Guild, he campaigned to increase health insurance coverage for his fellow writers, helped make our new building a reality, and was just a wonderful, engaged voice on the board.

If you’re like me and loved Tiny Toons, the Animaniacs, and Pinky and the Brain (to just name a few), you’re a fan of Earl’s work. He faded from us much too fast. Rest in peace, Earl, we’ll miss you.
