James A Rumpf

Born in New York and raised in North Dallas, Texas, James Rumpf is a long-time cartoon fan, which is one of the reasons he started publication of a series of adventures featuring Professor Beetoven a 1980s cartoon character. Professor Beetoven is a friendly cartoon bee who always wears his graduation cap. He is the leader along with various other characters in the cartoongems.com universe. Professor Beetoven was originally created in the early 1980s by Joe Oriolo, and was later featured in a cable pilot cartoon titled, "Friends Make the World Go Round" in “The Adventures of Professor Beethoven”. Cartoongems has rescued Professor Beetoven and his group of unlikely friends from the logs of cartoon history and has been very busy reintroducing them all to the net, particularly to the fresh minds of young children.
