I'm tired of the people who create the cool stuff that everyone loves continuously dying, and all the most horrible people keep on living.

Tom Kane knew how to embody the father figure role so well. He was our Professor Utonium, he was one of our fathers who made us feel better while growing up, and we're sad to hear of Tom's passing. 1962-2026 #powerpuffgirls

RIP voice actor Tom Kane (Professor Utonium in PPG, Yoda in Clone Wars and basically every video game for the last 25 years), but also fuck whoever put this shitty collage together. I don’t think he voiced half the characters pictured here, or at least wasn’t *known* as their primary VA.

A shitty tribute collage I stumbled upon on Facebook. Rusty Venture? You’re fucking kidding me, right?

My Last Jedi watch ended up inadvertently being a tribute viewing in honor of Tom Kane since he voiced Ackbar for it and man... I don't know if I can find another movie that I have as mixed of a feeling as I do for this one LOL

I know he was in ill health as of late. The original 3 voices of The Powerpuff Girls had just posted a picture of them hugging him. There was a deluge of fan art around it too. Peace to him and his family and loved ones. I love this show and it was also how I connected with some kids at my old job.

Such a beautiful art tribute for Mr. Professor, one of the best cartoon dads ever played by the legend himself Tom Kane. ❤️ Still though, its very sad hearing news that he passed away. 😢 He's truly one of the greatest voice actors of our childhoods, and I appreciate everything that he has done
