The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things

R.I.P.

Tigger
Sam-I-Am
Sneetch
Boomer
Chinese Cat
The Dread Baron

–and many more, AKA Paul Winchell. That’s a link to a tribute by Mark Evanier, who writes more about Winchell, and has a great story, here.

It’s a bad year for voices from my childhood. There have been times when I identified very much with Tigger, and looked at life as part of a massive attempt to “unbounce” me.

P.S….Oh, and also, Winchell invented the artificial heart. Seriously. He did.

    No! Not Dick Dastardly! And wow, seriously, ventriloquist, cartoon voice, and artificial heart inventor? Talk about jack-of-all-trades. This guy should be way more famous than he is.
