RIP C. Martin Croker (Clay) Adult Swim Animator, Director, and Voice Actor

One year ago, I woke up to missed calls, and text-messages ranging anywhere from "Call me now" to "I'm sorry about Clay." (BY THE WAY. NEVER TEXT ANYBODY THAT!!! Never text condolences. EVER. I deduced he was gone by texts from THOTS. Never do that.)

Clay died one year ago today. Please, press F or share funny memes. Or just whatever. Make it a party up in here if you want. He was a good guy with a deranged sense of humor.

Without that lovable slacker Clay, there would have never been the Space Ghost Coast to Coast we all love. The influence of that show on early Adult Swim programming is undeniable.

Lol! In some ways.

Whale, that's not very nice...

Nice, who is talking about nice?

Uhhhhhh.... ur mum? :3

I like that episode with his nephew Raymond

Poor Raymond.

Was just thinking about him and Space Ghost last night and today watched some adult swim toons for the first time in ages. Coincidence huh? Can't believe it's been a year.

Do you remember what his involvement with Aqua Teen was? That's my favourite adult swim show.

He is my favorite animated character. The episode with Stiller and kevin smith was...just watch this

He voiced Dr. Weird snd Steve, and also did animation until they went digital.

I still wonder how that voice came out of his face, lol. He eventually enbraced Zorak as his fav because everybody else did.

Wait, I thought it was always digital from season one? When did it switch etc.?

Not here, faggot. This is not the time.

RIP Dr. Weird. And if you were someone who actually knew him, OP, I'm sorry for however idiots treated his passing.

I was well aware of his influence and work and was sad to hear the news myself. There's plenty of others just like me out there.

At least he got to see the finale.

The characters themselves were traditionally animated and then they threw those animations together on a computer. They did recycle the same cels constantly, though.

Nope. Wish you could hear him bitch about animating that Japanese-speaking tentacle thing, lol.

Knew him well. Thank you. I don't mind the shitposting. Clay would roll his eyes at it, too. Lol.

I'm from the south myself, and watching all the behind the scenes/home footage of Dave and Clay and Andy/all those guys was always comfy as fuck. They always seemed like regular dudes. They knew how silly what they were doing was, but they just went balls out with it and ended up making some stuff that was really special.

>bumps own thread (one bump!)

Ahhhh

You probably aren't a regular, but we did have a couple threads here, but, of course, no sticky.

C. Martin Croker has joined the same ranks as Peter O'Toole.

Really? That's actually pretty amazing.

>George Lowe will die in your lifetime

I don't know what I'm gonna do guys.

I only knew Clay, but none of this surprises me. Those gosh-darned hippies he hung with at work. Lol.

How old are you?

lol he's the most hippie looking one of the bunch. The rest look basically like my dad.

His hair got away from him later in life, lol.

26. And mine's already getting away, so sounds like he did alright.

I first caught space ghost when I was 8. My dad let me stay up with him one night. I remember Zorak singing "(Don't) Send In The Clowns" to this day.

Oh!!! Well, you saw Cartoon Planet!! Very nice. :)

Found a link fer ya! youtu.be/AxGvRxYMQHU

Errr... this one. (Cartoon Planet.[p.s. GOOGLE SUXXXXX])

Oh yeah. That was way before the the white text.
A couple years later I rediscovered as when they had shit like Baby Blues. It didn't work for Dilbert. Let's try it again anyway!
Then came the salad days, when they had Futurama, Family Guy was still cancelled, and ATHF always came on right after every night.

This is honestly the first time I've heard this since. Definitely made me giggle. Thank you, OP.


Adult Swim...it's whatever now. At least Squidbillies is still good and somehow not cancelled. Do you like Dave's live action Hell show?

I'm assuming "no cause of death released" means suicide. It's always the funny fuckers that go through with it.

I still have my copy of Space Ghost's Musical Barbeque.

F

Eh...drugs/lifestyle are just as plausible.

He was killed by Sam Hyde. Clear cut case of self defense.

It's already been a year? FUCK

I could have sworn I only heard the news a couple weeks ago.

What the fuck? He died?

Time is the enemy, my friend

Year ago today.

I'm sorry about Clay
