“Where’s the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!”

That voice, man....that voice...Blanc was amazingly versatile, and he was one of Warner's biggest assets.

Initially, he didn't have a name- "Marvin" was applied to him retroactively.

Love Marvin. He and Daffy are my favourite Loony Tunes characters.

Don't forget his henchman that come in pills. You just add water and they pop up full size!

I enjoyed reading this, although I don't remember ever having heard of Marvin! He sounds a pretty cool character, though :)

At one point there was supposed to be a Marvin the Martian movie with Mike Myers, but it fell through. Kind of makes you wonder if they were casting based on initials.
