Chuck Jones is reported as having died today at age 89 on the website: http://www.cartoonresearch.com/news.html

Chuck Jones is known for a vast number of Warner Brother animations and character creations. His full biography is available at http://www.chuckjones.com/bio.htm

(Excerpt from the above website...)
? A small child once said to me: ?You don?t draw Bugs Bunny, you draw pictures of Bugs Bunny.? That?s a very profound observation because it means that he thinks the characters are alive, which, as far as I am concerned, is true,? recalls animation director Chuck Jones.

His last known published work was the website for Thomas Timberwolf at:
