Who Said That? ~ Gilbert Mack

Other cartoon work to his credit includes “Astroboy”, “The Hungry Ghost”, “Johnny Jupiter” (he was the title character), “The New Adventures of Superman” (Mr. Mxyzptlk), and “The Superman/Aquaman Hour” (Hawkman).

He also was busy on records as well, and recorded numerous Little Golden Records as various Hanna Barbera characters. He also published records of his readings of two of Edward Lear's Alphabets.
