I often feel sorry for kids nowadays, when I see the mass produced, commercialized drivel they are force fed on cable. Okay, I've been known to enjoy spongebob from time to time, and the grimm adventures of Billy and Mandy isn't too shabby, but really there isn't anything that compares to the little masterpieces WB developed 50 odd years ago. And yeah, yeah, I know some people always snidely interject, "you know cartoons weren't made for kids, they were made for adults." Whatever, all the kids I knew in the early 70's watched Looney Tunes.
Also, it's nice to see Daffy Duck not playing the angry, born loser sidekick to Bugs he later became. Which always made me irate as he was always my fav...
I beg to differ Deaddancer... I grew up in the 80's and 90's with DuckTales, Gargoyles, Thundercats, Transformers, and movies like Secret of Nimh, The Land Before Time... I think with every generation there's the few gems and then there's the crud.

"As a blogger, Chez Pazienza is filled with outrage, passion and insight -- delivered with a distinctive point of view, a wicked sense of humor, and a two-fisted style of prose. In Dead Star Twilight, he turns all these on himself -- and produces a fierce, funny, disturbing, but ultimately uplifting memoir. This is the book A Million Little Pieces dreamed of being."

NICE THINGS SAID ABOUT ME AND THIS SITE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN LIFE:
"Interesting, unique... generally unassailable points."
-- Chuck Klosterman, best-selling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Eating the Dinosaur
"That mad bent towards suicidal honesty that all my favorite people share."
-- David Baerwald, Golden Globe-nominated singer-songwriter
"Cuts through media bullshit like a hot knife through bullshit."
-- Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com
"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."
-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008
"It is truly sad that someone like Mr. Pazienza has a public forum to express his views. In a more civilized time he would, at best, be confined to an institution for the criminally insane or, at the very least, marginalized from civilized society."
-- Huffington Post commenter "Pharmacan," October, 2010

Thanks. A real McKimson...
You got me into Youtube this a.m., and I ended up watching all three duck-rabbit hunting ones.
Simply to remind you of Rabbit Seasoning: fairly high q. available, and so many fine, small details (like Daffy eyeballing Elmer close-up.)
Ciao.
