But in the case of this episode of Babe, maybe there is a line to be drawn somewhere, and for the 1940s, even the 20-teens, maybe Boody stepped over that line. <br /><br />It is a matter of taste, but I can't see Chas Addams using such a gag. (If he did and I haven't seen it, I will take that comment back.)Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-11348975607213101642017-09-27T06:11:13.093-07:002017-09-27T06:11:13.093-07:00I agree entirely with that comment.

Which is a shame, since the rest has so much going for it.<br /><br />I'm interested in anything before about 1980 that has female bodybuilders, including cartoon ones, and Two Ton is a pretty entertaining one of the villainous kind.<br /><br />Also, a lot of people would be surprised to hear a character worrying about wrestling getting a "brutal" image, as opposed to the opposite kind, but I guess that was the point of the joke.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-8203716047427636542017-09-26T03:48:51.297-07:002017-09-26T03:48:51.297-07:00Brian, squeamish as I am about broken bones, the e...Brian, squeamish as I am about broken bones, the ending reminded me that Boody Rogers' weird humor was sometimes <i>too</i> weird.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-5708813495254900692017-09-26T03:46:45.038-07:002017-09-26T03:46:45.038-07:00Cartoonjoe, good lord!

I haven't seen or heard that name in decades, but watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wSq5lqTdHQ" rel="nofollow">this short tribute to Verna Felton on YouTube</a> brought back how funny she was.

As for Babe, she'said not only as strong as Li'l Abner, she's just as *smart* (unfortunately...) as far as a distaff version of Li'l Abner goes, she's way more interesting than LONG SAM, Lubbers art to the contrary. cartoonjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780256430093956974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-40494164517644687652017-09-25T07:52:21.826-07:002017-09-25T07:52:21.826-07:00That's THE END???
