Added DiffLines:
* SignatureStyle: Jon's animation style, with its emphasis on strong held poses and snappy movements, is so distinctive that it's easy to pick out (see ''Jetsons: The Movie''). It's even evident in episodes of shows that he storyboarded/directed but his studio didn't actually animate- see certain episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (such as "Soccer Coach Slappy") and ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' (such as "Brainania").

Dudley the Dinosaur is Jon [=McClenahan=]'s most well known creation, a mascot for the American Dental Association. Dudley was the nation's first bilingual (English and Spanish) kids' public service campaign. He has starred in many commercials, beating ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Smokey The Bear]]'' as the most well-known public service campaign character, and ads have been in and out of production since 1991.

* OldShame: Jon isn't proud of his early Creator/HannaBarbera work, like ''Laverne and Shirley in the Army'' and ''The All-New Popeye Hour'' and although at the time he was glad to have animated on ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'', he was embarrassed after seeing the final product calling it the worst animated film he'd ever seen.
