Happy Birthday to The Grinch!

Premiered on this date in '66. A great cartoon. Better than that - it's a near-perfect pop culture triumph. Dr. Seuss story and illustrations, Chuck Jones animation and production, with the goddess of cartoon voices, June Foray; and two of the most recognizable voices of all time: the great Thurl Ravenscroft singing the theme song, and the immortal Boris Karloff providing narration and the Grinch's voice. We are talking Olympian heights here, people. It doesn't get any better. Essential. I've always wanted to play zoo-zither-carzay...
