BLANC CHECKS IN FOR ARMITRON

Mel Blanc - the voice of Taz, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martian and several other Warner Bros. cartoon characters - can now be heard at the touch of a button on eight Armitron character watches.

The company uses patented microchip technology to place time-related quips from each character into the new line.

That's not all, folks. Noel Blanc, son of Mel Blanc, will embark on a rare promotional campaign for the watch line. Look, or listen, for the watches and the campaign this spring. Armitron, 29-10 Thomson Ave., Long Island City, NY 11101; (718) 784-0700.
