Product Description

Review
"With dash, wit and innocence--and a few well-aimed custard pies--Chuck Jones . . . has written an anarchic autobiography." - Mark Goodman, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Chuck Jones's work remains, like all good fables, and only the best art, both timeless and universal." - Peter Bogdanovich

5.0 out of 5 stars A delicious glimpse into what makes Chuck tick, 19 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist (Hardcover)
A brief comment on Mr. Jones' writing style: He's certainly no James Joyce. He usually falls into the use of cliches, while he overpraises the people he loves, and slurs those he doesn't.

But, then, that's what a cartoonist does.

On to the good news, now: This memoir reads more like the script of a new Looney Tunes cartoon, one about the life and times of a zany character. REALLY! Chuck's anecdotes are always hysterical, and his description of people's traits and gestures make them animated to the mind's eye. One of my favorite parts is when he recalls the birth of Daffy Duck's lisp. I won't reveal that here: Get this book now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chuck Amuck, Fantastic, and Enjoyable, 12 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist (Hardcover)
Chuck Jones book, Chuck Amuck, is a wonderful book. The way he uses experiences in his life and transformes them into texted is marvelous. I had the chance to meet Mr. Jones once, the way he writes in this book is the same way he actually talks. Every time I read this book it brings me back to the times that Chuck Jones described, and it makes me feel as if I am riding along with him in his journy through life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous, 10 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist (Hardcover)
Chuck Jones' life story, funny anecdotes about his collaborators in the cartoon factory, essays on the origins of Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote, scripts of some classics like "Rabbit Fire", lots and lots of drawings: what more could you ask for? -- Steve Sailer
