Some Cartoon History

I could not find a good topic for today so I settled on something new.



I've been meaning to do a spotlight on Tex Avery and Mel Blanc, who first worked together on Picador Porky on February 27, 1937.  Even though I missed that anniversary, I wanted to share some bits.

Video Here


Tex began his Warner Brothers career with Porky, starting with Gold Diggers of  '49 in 1935.  The star is Beans the Cat, and Porky is the father of his fiancé, Little Kitty.

And in other Looney Tunes history:

It was April 30, 1938 that Happy Rabbit first appears, and this is who becomes Bugs.


That's all I've got - feel free to share some cartoon history!

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
