Warner Bros. plus the television shows "Time for Beany" and "Beany and
Cecil". Early in his life Bob Clampett joined the team at Harman-Ising Productions
and began working on the studio's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. By 1937
Clampett was promoted to a directorial position at the Warner Brothers Animation
unit. During his fifteen years at the studio Bob directed 84 cartoons later deemed
classic. Clampett designed some of the studio's most famous characters, including
Porky Pig and Tweety.

Clampett left Warner Bros. Cartoons in 1946 to turn his attention to television,
creating the famous puppet show Time for Beany in 1949. A later animated
versionof Beany and Cecil, ran for five years beginning in 1962. In his later years
