De acordo com o Comic Book, o roteirista e produtor Gordon Bressack, mais conhecido pela criação de ‘Animaniacs’ e ‘Pinky e Cérebro‘, morreu aos 68 anos.

A causa da morte não foi informada, mas ele passava por problemas de saúde há meses.

Bressack também foi responsável pela produção de vários desenhos animados da década de 1980, como ‘Os Smurfs’, ‘Tiny Toon Adventures’, e ‘Garota Supersábia’.

Em seu perfil do Instagram, o filho de Bressack, James Cullen, publicou uma homenagem de despedida, dizendo:

“Palavras não podem expressar como estou me sentindo agora. Você era meu mentor, meu parceiro de escrita, meu herói, meu melhor amigo, mas acima de tudo, você era meu pai. Sentirei sua falta mais do que você jamais saberá. Eu sabia que esse dia chegaria, mas de alguma maneira sempre pensei que você venceria as probabilidades e viveria para sempre, porque foi isso que você fez, você venceu as probabilidades.”

Words cant begin to describe how i am feeling right now. You were my mentor, my writing partner, my hero, my best friend, but most of all you were my Dad. I will miss you more than you will ever know. I knew this day would come but some how always thought that you would beat the odds and live forever, because thats what you did, you beat the odds. Thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for being a story teller and instilling a love of stories into me. Thank you for making me watch movie after movie when i was little and asking me questions about them. Thank you for telling me I was going to be a filmmaker before I ever even knew what that meant. You meant the world to me, you always have and you always will. Ill always be grateful for being able to write with the best writer I ever knew, you, and i will cherish that film for the rest of my life. Ironically we both were writing that story about this moment today, and yet we never really told the other one. I love you dad, to the moon and back. Ill miss you always. RIP. For those of you reading my dad loved to make people laugh, and im very grateful his legacy lives on through the many many cartoons he wrote and made. If you like cartoons watch an episode of pinky and the brain or anamaniacs and have a laugh in his honor. I know its what he would want.
