Great cross-breeding.

Actually, there's a good post-war example. The radio Superman had a series of episodes where Superman fought underground neo-Nazi's, and racism.

I'm sorry — you're right.

I've never seen the movie "Twilight Zone." Is his work there good?

The cartoons — on paper at least — had a very short production schedule. (The article above talks about how Jones gamed the schedule.) Most of the time I think the second cartoon improves upon the first.

I wish I could up-vote this more.

And often these were the '46-'58 cartoons, the ones where a few directors said, "Let's make some boffo cartoons, just as funny as Warner Brothers." They weren't like Warner Brothers, of course, which was all to the good.

I think McKimson's early cartoons are better than his later cartoons. "Daffy Doodles" is superb. In "Rebel Rabbit" Bugs is really fat, and Bugs seems out of character, but it has some good jokes. The Foghorn Leghorn series seemed to often have punches as punchlines. And then we get to the late WB cartoons: the least…

Not to mention Ralph Phillips' interaction with the other boy on the would-be Roadrunner TV show.
"I want to be a pea-psychologist. That or a pea-psychoanalyst."
"I wanna be the the Roadrunner! Meep Meep! Zip-watang!"

I would say he "improved" his gags. The boxing cartoon had some great jokes but faded at the end. The wrestling cartoon had more real-life allusions ("Ravishing Ronald" is a take-off of Gorgeous George, and the sad little referee was a caricature from real life), and the ending was great.

On the other hand, the cartoon with Bugs and an alligator was off.

"Bugs Baseball" is almost flawless.

Comparisons are odious. Clampett and Fritz and "A-Very" worked for the gags. They set out to as many jokes as they could. They had some killer gags. Chuck Jones went more for the story. His early cartoons were mainly soft. As he went on, he began incorporating jokes, but jokes as part of a story. "And I don't mean…

Do you have a child? That may be the difference. The cat is an innocent, mischievous child — but mischievous in a different way than the "adult" Bugs Bunny. The dog is a parent. Having a missing or dead child is the dread of any parent.

"Bye-ee!"

My Dear Friend and I were watching "Cabaret" for the first time.

Actually, he's pivoted to Venezuela. North Korea is so yesterday.

But how will you put them in the Paella?

Though they have nothing on rabbits.

Isn't it romantic?
