I Can't Pay The Rent...

The question, which has much vexed my friends and I of late: who was the villain in the cartoon Dudley Do-Right?

The answer: Snidely Whiplash - not to be confused with that other mustache-twirler, Oil Can Harry.

You're So Next

Through the magic of Google Video suileabhain found the classic Bugs Bunny shorts What's Opera, Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville. If pressed to choose I'd have to select these two of my favorite out of all of Bugs' adventures, although Water, Water Every Hare, featuring Gossamer ("Monsters lead such IN-teresting lives..") is up there too.

I think the appeal of What's Opera, Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville lies in the songs Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd sing to each other. Silly lyrics are the kind of things that kids (or at least this kid) take to very readily. Is there anybody my age (mid-thirties) who doesn't get a reference to "Kill the Wabbitt?" To this dayI can still sing scattered bits and pieces of The Rabbit of Seville. Remember this?

Welcome to my shop.
Let me cut your mop.
Let me shave your crop.
Daintily, daintily... Hey, you!
Don't look so perplexed.
Why must you be vexed?
Can't you see you're next?
Yes, you're next, you're so next!

10 Days Late

The above image comes to you courtesy of The Comics Curmudgeon: your source for everything weird in the funny papers. I post it here mainly because it cracks me up. I would consider the gentleman's word a fine code to live by if there were any hog pens in Q-town.

Just so you know: one iPod + this podcast = musical bliss. How else are you going to find out that Brad Roberts (lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies) has a strange knack for covering Britney Spears?

More stuff later. Maybe.

Who It Is I Killed You!

Killed!

Get Fuzzy: easily the best thing going on the funny pages today.

That Time Of Year Again

Here are a few more Addams Family holiday cartoons.

I do enjoy the Christmas season. I just don't necessarily enjoy the other people emjoying the Christmas season.

Yes, I'm dreading the coming task of shopping.
