4 | Jay Ward (born Joseph Ward Cohen Jr.; September 20, 1920 – October 12, 1989) was the producer of classic cartoons such as ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'', ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' and ''WesternAnimation/HoppityHooper''. He and his partner, Bill Scott, also created [[Advertising/CapnCrunch Cap'n Crunch]] and other cereal mascots for Quaker Oats. |

16 | !!Tropes which appear in his works: |
17 | |
18 | * LemonyNarrator |
19 | * LimitedAnimation: His animated shows tended to be this due to their low budgets. They made up for this with the quality of the writing. |
20 | * MismatchedAtomicExpressionism: Due to their low budgets and the era they were produced in, the animation and designs of Ward's many productions followed this aesthetic. |
21 | * {{Postmodernism}}: This was a staple of Jay Ward Productions -- ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'', ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'', and their associated spinoffs. Because the shows had low budgets and LimitedAnimation, Ward made up the difference with snappy writing rife with {{Lemony Narrator}}s, characters [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaking]] or [[NoFourthWall ignoring]] the fourth-wall, MediumAwareness, [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating humor]], GenreSavvy, AnimatedActors, and more. |
22 | * ThickLineAnimation: Again, one of the staples of Ward's productions. |
23 | * WorldOfPun: All of his work was this in spades. ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'', ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', all of them were just rife with puns. The narrator was especially fond of the "Tune in next time, when we hear Bullwinkle say..." variety. |
