He has quite a vivid imagination.

Probably not what you meant, but this strip was from October 21, 1973.

I have to go now. My ride is here. (How does he reach the gas and brake pedals?)

Jon probably should have been carrying an accordion rather than a guitar, but it’s a minor quibble.

They even met Garfield:

I haven’t really read the strip in years, but they are iconic characters.

I think I have my mind too far into the funnies, because seeing “Blondie” made me think of this:

Screwy is a funny character. It’s funny how Avery went in the opposite direction with his most famous MGM character.

Even Tex Avery himself didn’t like Screwy Squirrel. Probably because he was Tex’s attempt to give MGM what they wanted: another Bugs Bunny.

“Hardware Wars! You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll kiss three bucks goodbye!”

That’s disappointing but not necessarily surprising.

Wednesday Wisdom (?):

This was certainly a very different episode. I may have to track down a copy of this book.

That’s a good question. But oddly, both are reasons people say they don’t like reboots. It doesn’t make sense at all.

I suspect that it will be popular initially, but it will taper off, especially if they do something new with it or if they stick too closely to the original. Honestly, nothing is as big a hit as things used to be. It’ll doubtless end up on the chopping block if it underperforms. Everything does.

Guido Martina. A name that probably doesn’t register to people outside of Disney comics circles.

For the most part, they love what they do. If I could have done something like that that I liked doing for as long as they have and still get paid for it, I’d keep going as long as I could as well.

There’s also Petunia Pig. They brought her into it more often in Looney Tunes Cartoons, and she had a good part in The Day the Earth Blew Up. Witch Hazel and Granny, but they’re both old ladies.

Buddy and Cool Cat’s later appearances were no doubt written by people who are animation fans who remember everything. Lola Bunny keeps coming back because she’s a recognizable female character in a male character heavy franchise. She’s the token girl. She’s Bugs Bunny’s answer to Smurfette.
