Hilarious!

[Gingersnap]

As usual, Iowahawk does his subjects better than they ever did themselves.

I am sooooooo glad I never have to prove how hip I am by reading Thompson again. I don't think I could do it without the drugs.

[parcel_of_rogues]

pure genius.
A return to impeachment greatness!

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Absolutely brilliant. You've captured the real life cartoon essence of HT. ;-)

[Wneighbor]

Most entertaining. :-}

[SalukiLawyer]

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Do you freely admit to having a Rolling Stone subscription in 1972 ?
Another great piece, Hawk.

[MKM1960]

Yep, Saturday morning just like I remember. Excellent Job!!

[Uncle Fud]

The lesbian was screaming, and the two Aryan Hitler Youth were screaming, and the grotesque talking dog jumped into the arms of the whimpering hippie boy.

The whole series summed up nicely in twenty six words.

[Lancey Howard]

That's great!!

Velma never struck me as lesbian and still doesn't. Sorry. And I think it'spretty sad that so many adults can look at a fairly harmless children's cartoon and all they can see are gays, lesbians, and metaphors for drug use.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Very funny ping...

[MKM1960]

Please tell me you forgot your sarcasm tag.

[Question_Assumptions]

Not at all. I never thought Velma seemed lesbian to me. I also find it sad that people can't look at anything anymore, including old children's cartoons, without pushing some crypto-homosexual or adult interpretation on top of it. In fact, it's the idea that everything needs to be cynical or sarcastic that's part of what I find so sad. Do we really have to tear everything apart and make fun of it like this?

[HairOfTheDog]

Very funny!

[The Other Harry]

Bumping...

[Clemenza]

This has got to be the funniest sh-t I've seen posted on this site in a long time.

[SalukiLawyer]

Don't want to speak for anyone, but maybe this is a parody on Hunter Thompson's possible take on the cartoon, not meant to be taken as an attack on a beloved talking dog and his zany human companions...

[Question_Assumptions]

Yeah, I know that. But deconstructing Scooby-Doo has become quite common and popular, from scenes in the live action movie that never made it to the screen to the parody in the last Jay and Silent Bob movie.
