umm - once?

Adam needs his head examined. Call in Dr. Bermuda Schwartz.

I wonder if he dreams of Boris and Natasha

Rocky and Bullwinkle? And he says he’s matured? Ha!

well, there’s nothin up his sleeve….

if we can watch Roadrunner, he can watch Rocky.

maturity is relative.

Hey people, we’re commenting on a comic/cartoon. Can we really accuse someone of being immature?

the comics are one of the first things i do every morning before i get down to any serious work love them and always have 83year old fan

no comment

Maturity is over rated.

As my dad used to say: “I may grow old, but I’ll never grow up!”

And all we kids on the comments section of the gocomics enjoy each other. Well, almost all.

Hey Olddog82. You just confessed that you were

Yet you have an 82 after your name. That’s a sign of immaturity. (Just kiddin’)

Cartoons or responsibility? I choose cartoons. (life chose responsibility, so I hit the toons when I can.)

One of the most mature Saturday morning cartoons ever produced. Funny for kids and well informed adults. It was very well written for the time, has lost a lot of the edge it had in original context and time.

It wasn’t a Saturday morning show. It originally aired (as “Rocky and His Friends”) Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 PM (Eastern), and then moved to Sundays at 7:30. Adults were always at least PART of its target audience. I don’t know how old I was when I understood the groans occasioned by references to the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam (a jewel-encrusted bathtub toy boat), but I was certainly not a child.

I think it holds up very well, since when it was topical (Cold War themes, other political references) it was so in an oblique way. Interestingly I’ve read that, politically, Jay Ward and Bill Scott (the two men most responsible for the show’s tone) were very much opposites. One was a conservative Republican, and the other was a liberal Democrat (I forget which was which). Fortunately, they had compatible senses of humor, and whenever one would take a (friendly) poke at the one side it would be balanced by a poke at the other.

“If you have no funny comment about the cartoon, please don’t comment unless it’s positive about the people who do.”

So I would be allowed to write “LOL! i agree wtih you paprbuckte!” but not “paperbucket, your comment isn’t funny, isn’t about the cartoon, and is negative about others’ comments, so you’re simultaneously imposing a rule and breaking it”?

Just checking…

I have those too. Bullwinkle was a brilliant production.

Start the day over Adam.
