Never understood what Murgatroyd or Betsy had to do with Heaven.

It has the correct stage direction (Left) even.

Clever comic, Mr. Mc. Bleeb, say hello to Betsy for me.

On the “Heaven to Mugratroyd” path, I don’t see any pink cougars sounding like Burt Lahr around. Do you? (Hanna Barbera joke)

Snagglepuss and Granny must be glad their expressions were right all along. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_(Looney_Tunes)

Well at least they’re given a choice to make.

All Bleep followers on the right line, please.

So this is what awaits at the top of the Stairway to Heaven

Was that a Jimmy Durante line?

Sooo if I make a left will snagglepuss be there?

Oh well done! Well done indeed! Apparently, Bleeb is team Betsy.

BLEEB!!

ᴡʜᴀᴀᴀᴀᴀᴛ!

In the heaven scene, you’re supposed to turn around and face the camera!

ɪ’ᴍ ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ғɪɢᴜʀᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀ ᴍᴜʀɢᴀᴛʀᴏʏᴅ ɪs! ʙᴇsɪᴅᴇs, ɪ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄʜᴏᴏsᴇ ʜᴏᴡ ɪ ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴇsɪᴄɪᴏɴ ᴏғ ᴀ ᴍᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴀᴛ ᴍʏ ᴄʀᴀғᴛ!

Don’t flatter yourself… at you’re best, you’re only mediocre!

HEY! ɴᴏ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇsᴏʀᴛ ᴛᴏ ɴᴀᴍᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

… Gʀᴇᴀᴛ! ɴᴏᴡ ɪ’ᴠᴇ ɢᴏᴛᴛᴀ ғɪɢᴜʀᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴀ ᴍᴇᴀᴛʏ ᴏɢʀᴇ ɪs?

Tough choice.

It’s all good.

Funny and clever!

Where’s the sign above “To high”?

“Heavens Above”

If Bleeb doesn’t stop looking up that woman’s dress he’s never going to make through heaven’s gate.

I’d be cautious about the Betsy line. I notice wings on the one going to Murgatroyd, but no wings on the fellow headed for Betsy. Maybe the Highway headed down is just around the corner.

Hope Bleeb is just visiting.

And in Hell, you have Hell’s Bell’s on the left, and Hell or High Water on the right..

Beatrice has gotta be there somewhere.

Heh, ‘Heavens to Murgatroid’ is one of my favourite sayings! :)
