Why he might be annoying:

    His real middle name is a mouthful to spell.
    He produced commercials for Ford Motor Company.
    When he and Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, initially looked at the finished product of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,' Melendez was skeptical because of the crude animation and preachy message.
    Many people may only recognize him for his gibberish- sounds he gives for Snoopy.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Before the Peanuts television and film anthology, he did work on various Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons.
    He was a faculty member at University of Southern California.
    He founded his own production company in the basement of his home.
    He also did animation work for rival comic cartoons 'Garfield' and 'Cathy.'
    He received several Emmys and an Oscar nomination for his work with 'Peanuts.'
