Porky to the Rescue: The one area of animation that I didn`t have covered for the ASIFA-Hollywood State of the Animation Industry panel on Saturday is voice acting. I asked a number of people but most of them were already signed with Mark Evanier`s Voice Acting panel that was running concurrently with the state of the industry panel. There has been a slight change to the time of Mark`s panel and Bob Bergen kindly offered to make a dash for the last hour of our panel. Bless you Bob.

Now I know that Bob Bergen is just the voice of Porky Pig he is not really Porky but when I think of him running from one conference room to another to save our bacon (sorry) I envision Porky Pig animated by Frank Tashin plowing his way through the swarms of Lord of the Rings, Anime, and Star Wars dress up fan geeks. It is a good vision. I will play it back in my head over and over in these last hectic days before comic con.  ¶ 3:28 PM
