    I suspect I'm not alone in my fondness for them. Especially the old ones.

    Definitely not alone in your fondness for cartoons! We love 'em out in Idaho, too; & this is a good one. Are those really the original words to "Peter Cottontail"! Wow.

    Hi, John. It's like a very early hint of the Beatnik culture later on in that decade. Not exactly a black beret he's wearing, but he is referred to as "cool".

    That's because you are one cool cat yourself, Caftan Woman.
