Union Oil
In 1957, Thompson joined the Los Angeles branch of Union Oil as an executive, working in community relations and occasionally reprising his radio characters. He remained sporadically active in animation, however, going on to play King Hubert in Disney's Sleeping Beauty, and as Touché Turtle for Hanna-Barbera's Touché Turtle and Dum Dum (plus a guest role in an early episode of The Flintstones).
During this period, around 1958, Thompson appeared as a guest challenger on the TV panel show To Tell the Truth.

Famous quotes containing the words union and/or oil:

—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
“Courage, determination, and hard work are all very nice, but not so nice as an oil well in the back yard.”
