Joe Bev), the event included special guests June Foray (Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Witch Hazel, and Granny), Corey Burton (Justice League, Captain Hook), and Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson, Rugrats). The entire panel shared their stories of Daws and performed several of Daws' workshop scripts live.Also played at the event was the rare sound of Daws performing one of his own scripts.
