Yes, Bob Clampett created Beany and Cecil, and also the "Time for Beany" puppet show - one of the first television shows to air on the new KTLA, back in the day.
Ruth is Bob's daughter.
He's undisputed royalty in vintage animation. When he was a Warner Bros. director, he created some of the best and most controversial cartoons in Looney Tunes' history. Have you ever seen "Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarves?" Oh man! Warner Bros. will never, ever, ever allow that cartoon to be played on television. But then, a lot of Looney Tunes cartoons from the 30s through 50s will never be played on television. We were lucky to see what we did on Saturday mornings - and that was the watered-down late 50s, early 60s stuff.
