Or...maybe that's not such a great idea.steveasatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-59476539904222216952009-06-06T09:14:10.617-07:002009-06-06T09:14:10.617-07:00Although I mostly agree with your opinion, I need ...Although I mostly agree with your opinion, I need to point out that the anthropomorphic animals live in a world of pure toon physics. You can shove a stick of dynamite in someone's mouth and not kill them. You can run off a cliff and not fall until you realize you are standing on air.<br /><br />The superheroes live in a world with mostly normal physics. Actions have more serious consequences.<br /><br />I think the kids watching the cartoons intuit this difference, so violence in the former doesn't affect them as much as violence in the latter.Photo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397257412082004335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-91018711956282802042009-06-02T13:46:43.856-07:002009-06-02T13:46:43.856-07:00Funny that the artist puts Popeye with the kiddie ...Funny that the artist puts Popeye with the kiddie cartoons, given that virtually every episode was about Bluto trying to rape Olive until Popeye beats him to death.The Mutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149977320388415139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-86943848550954301152009-06-02T08:47:15.004-07:002009-06-02T08:47:15.004-07:00I don't think the Mouse is standing his ground but...I don't think the Mouse is standing his ground but trying to decide which way to run.Dwayne "the canoe guy"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05434021701274164909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-34483269238079363992009-05-31T10:08:19.020-07:002009-05-31T10:08:19.020-07:00The Three Stooges.

I remember being impressed at how accurate the illustration was, getting all those characters right, not realizing at the time it had been done by an actual comics artist. And I remember taking umbrage at my favorite tv cartoons being disparaged, though I couldn't have made the counterargument as cogently as you do here.<br /><br />(Back in 1968, I was praised for reading at a Sixth Grade level, and a few years later in middle school I was praised for reading at a Ninth Grade level. I always assumed that by now people would be telling me "You're reading at a 53rd Grade level, that's so impressive!" but this has yet to happen.)Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-39413057366307652642009-05-29T12:48:38.497-07:002009-05-29T12:48:38.497-07:00Never saw (or at least can't recall) seeing that W...Never saw (or at least can't recall) seeing that Wally Wood illo before -- thanx!buzznoreply@blogger.com
