Liane speaks with Tiffany Ward, daughter of the late cartoonist Jay Ward. The Ward family has collaborated with author Louis Chunovic (choo-NOH-vik) on "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Book," (Bantam). In 1959, Jay Ward created the satirical cartoon show (that aired on ABC and NBC) named for his two unlikely heros, Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel. A pioneer in the field of animation, the eccentric Ward and his director, Bill Scott, were known for their scripts that were more like sociopolitical commentary than typical cartoon stories for children.
