It's Friday and time for one of my favorite TV cartoons, Bugs Bunny's "Little Red Riding Rabbit." Sing along with Red as she skips towards Grandma's housefrom the cartoon:
The five o'clock whistle's on the blink/the whistle don't blow so whattaya think/my papa still works in the factory/ cuz he doesn't know what TIME...it happens to BE...
Nothing sweeps away the blues better than a good cartoon. Whether it is the manic humor of Tex Avery, the societal humor of South Park and The Simpsons, or the computer generated quirkiness of Jimmy Neutron, life seems to get better after ten minutes watching TV cartoons.
What are your favorites cartoons? What cartoons do you despise? And when will the Wile E. Coyote (super genius) ever catch the Road Runner? Don't be shy Post your photos and theme songs you recall from your childhood memories.
Funny, I never saw those 2 families smoking! (Maybe sometimes Fred got a cigar from Mr. Slate, but...)

"Philosophical dialectics"?????
All you have to do is watch what's on "real" TV. It's all the same thing - disgusting, vulgar, obnoxious.
I appreciate some of the humor and even some of the themes of these shows, but overall they're "ugly" enough that I can easily "leave" them (as opposed to "take it"), which I do unless "forced" to watch!
It was 4 AM...
That is adorable!
The only thing I heard was "banned" is Speedy Gonzales!
ROTFLOL...that was good (wiping tears).
--Josie and the Pussycats was created by the late Dan DeCarlo, who met his wife Josephine during WW II. (He used to say that he landed on the roof of her house but that may be just a story.) He created a comic book called "She's Josie" which later led to Josie and the Pussycats. A friend of mine has a tribute site:
DeCarlo was guest of honor at the "furry" convention Anthrocon shortly before his death (a furry--I'm one-- is a fan of anthropomorphized cartoon animals). At one point in the dealer's room (where you can buy T-shirts, comic books, etc.), Dan and Josie were sitting at their table and a woman, Lisa Jennings,dressed as Josie the character, showed up and danced around as the "Josie" theme song was played--kind of a surprise tribute. The conventioneers were charmed by Dan and his wife. Several Anthrocon staffers attended Dan's funeral later, and Josie was invited to return to the convention in future years as their honored guest.
