    • Daws: Mel Blanc was the only guy to get credit on those Warner Brothers cartoons we all did, but I was the only one to get my name on cereal ads.
    • Don Messick: Once, Daws and I were waiting to be seated at a restaurant. When the hostess led the patron before us towards a table, we heard the man give out with a bad Snagglepuss impression - "Exit, stage left into the dining room" - unaware the real Snagglepuss was standing behind him. Daws turned to me and, in the bona fide voice intoned, "Heavens to Trademark Violations! I'm being plagiarized!"
    • Daws: Maybe it was because I was so short, but I was extremely, almost fatally introverted. I was always the kid in the back of the crowd, never at the center, and because I was short, I couldn't see or be seen. So I started to make some noise, doing voices, doing impressions of movie stars and our teachers. The kids loved it - especially the girls - and I suddenly had status and stature.
