For Scent-imental Reasons

Hey kids (of all ages), it’s Saturday Morning Cartoon time again!

I was going to bring in a certain hyper-educated quacker uncle from the Mouse’s domain, as requested by BitChute viewer Alkaline777… But, since CancelCulture has set its sights on Toondom’s ultimate mascot of masculine self-confidence, I’m gonna feature him first.

Before the Leftards decided to attack Pepe for “glorifying rape-culture”, the TV networks had butchered this film pretty heavily for suicidal elements. Shabby way to treat an Oscar-winning picture! Of course, we’ll be having none of that here!

This is the first one to have the tables turned on the amorous Mephitis. (Weird that people think the blue paint somehow cloaked his scent, when the ‘toon makes it clear that Penelope’s snoot is too clogged up for her to smell anything.)

Trivia: Skunks are a North American species. The European polecat found in France is not black/white, and is unrelated.

Directed by Chuck Jones in 1949. More from the OldHorseman.

Wabbit Twouble

Hey kids (of all ages), it’s Saturday Morning Cartoon time again!

We covered the development of Egghead (more specifically, his running-gag ‘brother’ Elmer) into the fully-recognizable Elmer J. Fudd in last Saturday’s upload. But sometimes creators just don’t know when to stop! After Elmer’s star-making role with Bugs Bunny, who had finally evolved into his proper physical and vocal form, in A WILD HARE, the boys at Termite Terrace decided it would be funny to fatten Elmer up to resemble his voice actor, Arthur Q. Bryan. It wasn’t. So the chunky Elmer devolved back into his earlier, slimmer version after a handful of pictures.

But Elmer wasn’t the only one evolving at this point. Bugs pretty much looked and sounded like his iconic self, but his personality was still not fully formed. As with the proto-Bugs seen in last week’s upload, we find the wabbit going out of his way to screw-with a peaceable Elmer without any provocation whatsoever. Chuck Jones would soon realize that this sort of thing basically made Bugs a jerk. Thereafter, he normally had to be either threatened or outright attacked, sometimes repeatedly, before borrowing Groucho’s “This means WAR!” line and taking hilarious revenge on the offending party.

From 1941 (less two weeks after Pearl Harbor) WABBIT TWOUBLE. More from OldHorseman.

A Day At The Zoo

Today’s classic cartoon is another Warner Brothers’ Merrie Melodies, directed by Tex Avery, and featuring Egghead, the forerunner to Elmer Fudd. Made in 1939, A Day At the Zoo is chalkful of corny puns and homespun humor that still works because it’s fast-paced and fairly breezy. Here, we’re entertained by two bucks (deer) and five scents (skunks)! The pack of camels are smoking, of course. Egghead tests his luck with a lion. More from the OldHorseman.

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.

Daffy Duck & Egghead

Here is one of the early appearances by Daffy Duck in a Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies cartoon from 1938. Besides Daffy Duck 1.0, we also meet his nemesis — Egghead — who would later evolve into Elmer Fudd. It’s a little bit talky, but there’s lots of great sight gags, plus a scene-stealing turtle who stretches ambidexterity into multiple new dimensions. Tex Avery directs. More from the OldHorseman.

Egghead Rides Again

Here’s a 1937 Merrie Melodies cartoon from Warner Brothers that introduced Egghead, sort of a forerunner to Elmer Fudd. Tex Avery (listed in the credits as Fred Avery) directed the short, with an uncredited Mel Blanc supplying the vocals for Egghead. Blanc had already done the vocals for Porky Pig but hadn’t yet brought us Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck or Barney Rubble. The cowpokes out in Wahoo, Wyoming, are actually played by the singing group: Sons of the Pioneers. More from the OldHorseman.

Castle Rock

In Pursuit of Truth returns after a long absence, saying he’s working on some long-term projects. Fake POTUS Joe Biden has been sworn in, to the dismay, of the US-A!  Lady Gaga’s references to the Hunger Games were so apropos to the Inauguration. Biden moved to reverse pretty much all of Donald Trump’s initiatives. So we’re back to a having a clueless and worthless federal government that will place liberal policy ahead of the American people and our job opportunities. Funny how all the Leftists — like the morons in Hollywood and those who run academia — are always demanding greater handouts while trying to shut down people who actually work!

IPOT wonders aloud whether Joe Biden has been filming scenes inside the Oval Office set that Warner Brothers built for the movie Dave? It certainly looks like a possibility. What would be remarkable about that? Dave spins a fictional narrative about a Presidential imposter!

The patriots are now setting the stage for public opinion. Trump declassified the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Information is being dripped out, to prepare the public for what is coming. The memo is just the beginning. More is on its way. This will set the narrative and make the [Deep State] players feel pain at each step of the way. Biden and his administration have a Supreme Court lurking in the background. Impeachment papers have been filed and Durham will most likely begin to unseal indictments to make arrests, just like Mueller. Sometimes you must show the people. More from the X22 Report.

Sarge from Icons explains the difference between the Constitutional Republic and the dead USA Corporation, which is what Joe Biden is heading. U R watching a show! More from McAllister TV.

Eyes Wide Shut

A fascinating look at Eyes Wide Shut, the last movie of Stanley Kubrick, and one that was cut drastically by Warner Brothers prior to its release in 1999. Kubrick himself died in 1999, a few months ahead of the picture coming out. By all indications, he resisted the drastic cuts. The film touches upon many elements we explore here: Not only the Illuminati, but also Satanism and pedophilia. Here is a fascinating investigation by Mark Flynn.
