in January 2006, at age 94, the last surviving director from the golden age of Warner Bros. Cartoons to pass away. Legacy McCabe's work is obscure today, because he never made color cartoons during his (relatively brief) directorial tenure at the Schlesinger studio, and several of his cartoons would now be considered offensive due to heavy racial stereotyping (particularly true in his World War II-based cartoons, such as The Ducktators, Confusions of a Nutzy Spy, and Tokio Jokio). During a screening of his cartoons at ASIFA-Hollywood, he spoke highly of Clampett, but was outright embarrassed by his old black-and-white cartoons . However, he won recognition and accolades from those in the animation business. Sources References External links Lambiek Comiclopedia article.
