They don’t make cartoons like* they used to. Unless, of course, you’re talking about The Simpsons or Family Guy or Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, or the Venture Brothers, and those aren’t really “cartoons” as much as they’re indescribably hilarious superbly-written animated sitcoms. Or, in the case of Space Ghost, talk shows.

Modern ‘cartoons’ aren’t much more than advertisements for action figures and elaborate playsets that don’t really do half of what they promise a little kid they’ll do.

Back in the olden days, though, people knew how to make a CARTOON, dagnabbit. And this one is my favorite. I’m embarrassed to tell you how much I love this cartoon, and even today I can’t watch it without laughing out loud and snorting Diet Coke out of my nose.

Warning: Humorless twits Some people consider it very politically incorrect, which is, of course, one of the reasons I love it so much.

On second thought, I’m not really embarrassed about loving this cartoon. I’m not embarrassed at all. I LOVE this cartoon.

*it should really be “as” but this post is about cartoons, so who cares? Just so you know I know better, and that I didn’t write “like” from ignorance.
