(Beck) From the story in today’s Hollywood Reporter:
---
“We wanted to make sure that it was not the Speedy of the 1950s — the racist Speedy,” said the comedian’s wife Ann Lopez, who will serve alongside him as a producer. “Speedy’s going to be a misunderstood boy who comes from a family that works in a very meticulous setting, and he’s a little too fast for what they do. He makes a mess of that. So he has to go out in the world to find what he’s good at.” That path becomes clearer once Speedy befriends a gun-shy race-car driver.

(Beck): “The racist Speedy”? Pardon me, but the Speedy I know from the 1950s cartoons was a hero, a champion. I would suggest the writers watch a few of the cartoons before inventing a scenario from whole cloth.
My mom watch Spanish soaps on Univision and Telumundo brush on her Spanish
Great so now instead of being a generally lazy mouse who can run fast when needed and womanizing with everyones sister like in the classic cartoons, he’s going to be a whiner about how his cartoon never got the ratings of that damned racist bugs bunny.
We definitely have differing ideas of funny, Lopez like Margaret Chow has never ever been funny in my book... Same thing with that red headed whiner that claims she’s a comedian, Kathy Griffin.
Lopez is a DIRT BAG!
