Tex Avery

Tex Avery was an American cartoonist and animator responsible for creating some of the most prolific cartoon characters in the history of animated cinema. Some of these characters include but are not limited to, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, and Droopy.

The time during which he made his greatest contributions is often referred to as the Golden Age of Hollywood Animation due to the advent of sound cartoons and the popularity of the medium between roughly 1928 and 1945. The majority of his work was done for Warner Brothers and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios.

His influence on contemporary animation is arguably unmatched with many of his characters retaining their icon status some 60 years since their creation.
