Alex Anderson, 90, the artist who created the cartoon characters Rocky and Bullwinkle, the flying squirrel and hapless moose who were TV fixtures in the early 1960s, died Oct. 22 at a nursing facility in Carmel, Calif. His wife said he had Alzheimer's disease.
I remember working in a video store in the early 90s when the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows came out on video. There were six episodes released. We started playing the episode in the store. People stopped and watched. People looked for videos and laughed along. In the course of the evening we played all of the tapes. But we never got to see an entire one because people rented them out from under us. They were very popular renters for the next six months or so.
