Dan M Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Those are all so great compared to what kids get today. Many had clever dialog that was way over the heads of young children. Looney Toons favorites were often "politically incorrect" and terrific. Bugs, Yosemite Sam, Pepe LePew, and of course Foghorn Leghorn to name a few. Oh yea, don't forget about Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Link to comment

Guest ratchethack Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oh yea, don't forget about Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Heh, heh. Ever notice that every single episode of Moose and Squirrel (at the height of the Cold War, yet!) was packed with subtle social commentary and innuendo that'd NEVER get past the repression of the PC Police today?

Guest ratchethack Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Met bovenstaande brief opende het eerste nummer van de Nederlandse versie van het Amerikaanse blad MAD Magazine, in juli 1964. Dit blad vol humor, cartoons en strips, kende - en kent - in Amerika al een grote populariteit, en bood plaats aan striptekenaars als Don Martin, Harvey Kurtzmann, Will Elder, Sergio Aragones en Jack Davis. De Nederlandse MAD was voor het grootste gedeelte gevuld met het vertaalde werk van deze tekenaars, maar ook Nederlandse tekenaars kwamen aan bod. "Wat, me zorg?" -- Alfred E. Neuman De eerste MAD, Juli, 1964 Link to comment
Admin Jaap Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 My brother-in-law always got hold of the US version of MAD (he worked for Rothmans tobacco) and I think I read it for the first time over 25 years ago. Never thought about the last 15 years or so, but I think I'll take a look on my sisters attick tomorrow! Link to comment
Guzzirider Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've been reading Viz for 21 years- the cartoons are good, but the best bit is the Profanisaurus Dictionary Of Swear Words. http://www.viz.co.uk/ Dont click here if you are easily offended! Link to comment
