2016 continues to be brutal in terms of mortality, sadly one of the busiest years for the Grim Reaper. Word broke on Facebook Saturday night that C. Martin Croker, animator and voice artist, died suddenly at his home in Atlanta.
Croker (“Clay” to his friends) was one of the key creators behind Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and was responsible in part for what eventually became Adult Swim. Melanie and I got to meet him a couple of years ago at JoeLanta and he was a humble, charming and funny person who seemed genuinely happy to meet a couple of people who’d been fans of his since the beginning.
Aside from his work as an animator, Clay was also a voice artist, providing the voice of Zorak on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and both Dr. Weird and Steve on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Tonight Sunday Evening Videos remembers C. Martin Croker with some of his most memorable moments…
