A Feud There Was

We launch a new series today: Presenting a vintage cartoon every Saturday morning, just like in the good old days, before the dingbats took over the belfry! We open with a 1938 classic: Warner Brothers’ A Feud There Was, revisiting the celebrated hillbilly feuds in the Appalachian Mountains. There are McCoys here, only they aren’t battling the Hatfields, but the Weavers.

Elmer Fudd is trying, valiantly but unsuccessfully, to bring peace to the mountaintops. The great Tex Avery directed. Mel Blanc does many of the vocals, although that’s the Sons of the Pioneers as the uncredited singing group led by none other than Roy Rogers! More from the OldHorseman.

 

So Long From Stormy

Well, Stormy fans, after a few years on the video blogger “campaign” trail, we are suspending our blog. Why suspending and not terminating? Because there’s a good chance we’ll be back later in the year. I’m told by higher ups that the move might compromise our domain–Call Me Stormy–but there’s also a strong possibility that we can retain it. So that being said, it is with a heavy heart that we thank our loyal followers and those that dropped by to take a peek, too. We conclude with a pair of videos from two of our favorite bloggers–the ever-entertaining Joe Dan Gorman and Intellectual Froglegs and the sometimes controversial, but brilliant political strategist Dick Morris. Ever dedicated to to our mission, we will always continue to cast sunlight when it’s needed, thunderbolts where they are required and zingers just for the fun of it. Because absolutely no cow is so sacred that it can’t be tipped over and udderly exposed. Happy trails.
