One of Sesame Street's most prominent animators. He's probably best known for directing the "Madrigal Alphabet" cartoon, as well as the Pinball Number Count series.

One of his first contributions was the psychedelic V cartoon (the vampire scared the pants off me), then the Typewriter, the Ringmaster, Pointer Sisters Pinball Count, the end is listless.

For the adults, check out Lenny Bruce's short "Thank You Masked Man".

Thank you Jeff Hale, for making Sesame more colorful.

Oh man, "Lines and Dots" is my favorite Detective cartoon! Lines, dots, lines, dots, lines, dots... big thanks to Jeff for giving us the best SS toon shorts!
