George Lowe: Voice of Space Ghost Dies at 67

George Lowe, the distinctive voice behind the sardonic animated superhero Space Ghost, passed away recently, leaving behind a remarkable legacy in comedy animation. Known for his deadpan delivery and satirical humor, Lowe transformed a relatively obscure Hanna-Barbera character into a cult comedy icon.

Lowe's most significant contribution was his work on Adult Swim's groundbreaking series 'Space Ghost Coast to Coast', which aired from 1994 to 2008. The show reimagined Space Ghost as a talk show host, interviewing real celebrities with absurdist, improvised comedy that predated many modern alternative comedy styles.

Key highlights of Lowe's career include:

Pioneering meta-comedy in animated television
Creating a uniquely sardonic character voice
Influencing subsequent generations of comedy animators
Helping launch Adult Swim's distinctive comedic style

Beyond Space Ghost, Lowe was a respected voice actor and comedian who understood the power of deadpan humor and surreal comedy. His work challenged traditional animation formats and opened new comedic territories for future creators.

George Lowe's passing marks the end of an era for alternative animation comedy, but his influence will continue to inspire comedians and animators for years to come.
