Friday Fun

First, big congrats to Michelle Pickett, whose debut novel Concilium drops today. yay, Michelle! Please head on over and give her some well wishes.

Today, I am in dire need of a good laugh, so I am posting some of my fave funnies here. The first is "Captain Hareblower" a 1954 cartoon pitting Bugs Bunny against the dread pirate Yosemite Sam. I still get a belly laugh out of these two.



This second little cartoon is Daffy Duck as Robin Hood, a hilarious favorite of mine. Note, when I laugh really hard, I look and sound remarkably like Porky Pig in here, a wheezing, heaving uncontrollable mass.And yes, I do fall out laughing. What can I say, I love to laugh and I throw myself into it.



Happy Friday! I hope you enjoyed these little ditties today. Hope you all have an awesome weekend. I am going to be writing and watching movies. I'm thinking I am in the mood for fantasy and adventure. Or perhaps a good tale of war, preferably WWI. What will you be doing?

    I love those old cartoons. Some of my favourites are things like Little Audrey and Felix the cat from way back when. Little slices of awesomeness. Thanks for these :)

      Old cartoons are the best! I'm so happy you enjoyed these little gems. I remember Felix the Cat, I used to love to watch him here on the afternoon cartoon hour on local Channel 26.

      Adult Swim, do not get me started. And I agree with the sentiment about porn for creepy puppets. :)

      I just love these old cartoons. I know the animation slicker and all that, but the humor in these gems still resonates with me.

    Still the best cartoons.

    I can see me tripping down that hill like Daffy. I can walk down a ten foot wide hallway and still manage to run into the wall at some point.

      Simon the Creepy? LOL I love it. I grew up watching these as well. Every Saturday morning from like 7 until 11 they were on.

      I remember that fat old hare. LOL She was really ugly.

    Hi Melissa, what a great idea! I like how you have them situated on the page too, I was able to watch both at once ... once a multi-tasker, always a multi-tasker, lol.

    That is great news for Michelle. Thank you so much for stopping by to see me ... I have a lot of pretty subject matter out here in Oregon ... and I just don't post my pictures that don't turn out.

    Hope that you have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

      Multi-tasking rules! :) Oregon is a gorgeous state and I am sorry I did not visit more often when I lived up in Washington. Someday I will get back, though. Your pictures are inspiring.

      And I wish you a wonderful weekend as well.

    That Daffy Duck as Robin Hood clip was fantastic. Oh, the nostalgia!

    If you're looking for a fun, cute, little sci-fi action-adventure, watch The Iron Giant I'm sure you've already seen it, but it's worth revisiting.

    Happy Friday, Melissa!

      I do love my ducks, both Daffy and Donald. LOL Glad you loved the little gem.

      I haven't seen Iron Giant in so long... Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'll be raiding my sister's vid collection this weekend.

      Happy Friday to you as well, have a kick ass weekend.

    LOVE Looney Tunes - especially the controversial and politically incorrect ones. Slightly offensive sometimes, but it's part of our cultural history.

    I don't think I'm damaged from growing up with these cartoons. I knew that if you shot a gun or cannon into someone's face, the damage was much more severe than a gunpowdered countenance and maybe a lopsided duck bill.

      I agree, some of these are offensive, but then a lot of humor is. We can learn a lot watching these as well. Where we came from, how far we still need to go, etc. And you're right, I knew as a kid that a cannon in the face meant death and not turning to ash, then coming back in the next scene. LOL

      Great comment!
