Peace or piece of me.

Ah, harmony – the holy grail of relationships. You know, that elusive state where everyone gets along, and no one wants to pull their hair out. I am reminded of the rabbit in Winnienthe Pooh when everyone around her irritated her in one way or another. As I navigate the crazy world of human connections, […]

Letting Go for the Sake of Harmony (Before I Lose My Mind)

Wednesday charm, Wile E Coyote Vrs Acme Novelty…

US Code xx20 product liability.

This radiator cap was on a model A at the Merritt Classic Car Club Wednesday night meeting last week at the A&W. The car that was on was a model A Ford from the 1920 to 1930 era. Mismatched but interesting.

The rocket that the coyote is on would have been employed in one of his schemes to catch that roadrunner and I suppose he would have ate him if he could have ever caught him, but he relied heavily on acme novelty for his traps which added a dimension of interest and characterization to the programming.

Cartoon slapstick

It was a plunge from Disneys Bambi to continuous rivalries and progressive violence. Agree or disagree probably has more to do with people’s who probably took a plunge somewhere when the convenience of television time took from the arts and gave to the feeding of conflict resolution that is a neverending story.

Antimated violence parental warnings.

Parental warnings are to be paid attention to…

The cartoon series featuring the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote is known as “The Road Runner Show,” which first premiered in 1949. It is a classic animated series created by Chuck Jones and voiced by Mel Blanc. The series revolves around the high-speed antics of the Road Runner, who consistently outsmarts Wile E. Coyote, a hapless yet determined predator. Notably, the Road Runner makes a distinctive “beep beep” sound, while Wile E. Coyote often uses elaborate contraptions and traps from the fictional Acme Corporation to try to catch him, all of which frequently backfire in a humorous fashion. The episodes are characterized by their minimal dialogue and a focus on physical comedy and slapstick humor.

Tom and Jerry slapstick…

Another cartoon series that portrait comical slapstick violence was Tom and Jerry. Tom was a cat. Jerry was a mouse and Jerry was always trying to avoid being captured by Tom in traps and various plots. The animated violence sometimes comes under critical scrutiny when assessing violent tendencies and small children that have watched these programs.

Opinion

We think that animated cartoons that show slapstick and silliness and things that obviously are not reality are great. And that we do a good service to children to make them understand the difference between reality and entertainment.

Disagree,it is your perogative…

Perhaps your lifestyle produces no need to escape, that’s a valuable life in most respects.

Violence does not reverse itself alone…

To take the time and explain when you have to act responsibly and when you can enjoy,imagined slapstick…

We are not psychologists, but we think it’s obvious that the ability to escape into imagination is a good life skill. Not everything has to be taken seriously and there are times that you can just enjoy things.

No truer word was ever spoke then one said in jest.

However a serious life is a valuable life as well.

Serious lives are consequential lives.

“Clowns are a dime a dozen”

You be the judge…

The fact is this showed up to a car meeting and they were adults. The car was a rod and seriousness was not it’s signature.

Sam approved

We have had the pleasure of enjoying this bottled pop at the local Albert and Walters since it opened its inside to the public after Covid and a renovation.

They have a counter display of 4 packs for $5:99 + return deposit, there is a coupon in the cardboard case for a free buddie burger aas well.

Besides the taste of vintage root beer revived in glass the asthetics and demenour of the experience is potent to many generations including from car hop days under the raised parking roof.

Why is this funny?

This is life. This is not irregular. This is not surreal. This is not unfocused. Why is it funny?

It’s funny because of the animation of the people it’s so charming.
