The guy responsible for Dudley Do-Right, the heroic Canandian Mountie, and Snidely Whiplash, his evil nemesis, died of cancer last month at home in Beverly Hills. He was 81. Chris Hayward contributed most of the gags and puns and “Fractured Fairy Tales” on the legendary The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. The very first episode featured the cartoon moose and flying squirrel in “Rue Britannia,” in which Bullwinkle had to stay in England’s Abominable Manor. And the moose said, typically, “Shucks, I’ve been livin’ in an abominable manner all my life!” Ba-dum-bum. In the television business since the ’50s, Hayward worked on Crusader Rabbit, the first cartoon show created for TV, Get Smart, My Mother the Car, Barney Miller, and later, with partner Allan Burns, developed The Munsters. In 1968, he and Burns received an Emmy for the sitcom He & She. (Source)
