Well done, Angela. The programming in cartoons is surreal. I remember ODD's breakdown of old cartoons' using predictive programming for 911. Nice job again! 😊
Boy you are so right. Growing up, that Saturday morning thing until noon was like going to church on Sunday. Never thought of it being lessons to learn or mind manipulation, at least then. As I grew, I realized there was something to be said that there were in fact messages, teachings or just flat out political commentary. That became crystal clear when it was told to me (probably in my teens) that Bullwinkle and Rocky was nothing but commentary on the Cold War, US/Russia. My faves were Bugs, Road Runner, the Flintstones and the Pink Panther. Lots of giggles back then with it but later on finding out what it was all about. I think the current stuff like the Simpsons is for the adults. As much nostalgia but more-so the opportunity for those adults who now understand things to probably laugh at what is going on around us.
Thanks Ken. I keep thinking about how Betty and Wilma from the Flintstones said "charge it" as their tagline and then as a college student I did just that...and got myself in a mess way back then....the irony of them living in "rubble" while being heavy shoppers certainly led some of us GenX'ers into more consumerism than we ever could need...after all if you can "just charge it" then why not. Oh vey! So many points of repetition weigh on my mind as I survey this topic. Watching them now feels so strange, the obvious things that our young minds couldn't see becomes a slap in the face as adults.
Thanks Saxxon. I appreciate the comment. I haven't seen those two but you are right, when you back away and look at them all, each toon contributes to one of the narratives inside the greater agenda.

I'll have to check that out, thank you!
