Had to happen sometime. Sad to see it come, but Charles has had a hell of a run. He will continue to be the template for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi for the rest of the characters' existence.

Very much, in my mind, like any new Looney Tunes voice actors are just trying to sound like Mel Blanc.

It'll be great to hear Charles' influence for years to come, even if he's not doing (or doing less of) the performances anymore.
