I actually came on-line to write about this. Pesto beat me to it.
I just don't have that much free time anymore. Please forgive me.

CARMEL, Calif. - Pioneering TV cartoon artist Alexander Anderson Jr., who created Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle the moose, has died. He was 90.
Anderson's son Terry tells the Los Angeles Times his father died at a Carmel nursing home on Friday after battling Alzheimer's disease. The elder Anderson was a longtime resident of Pebble Beach.

Anderson teamed up with his childhood friend and former University of California, Berkeley, fraternity brother Jay Ward to make low-budget TV cartoons.

Their creations also included Crusader Rabbit and his pal Rags the Tiger and Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties.

The syndicated "Crusader Rabbit" became the first animated TV series in the 1950s. "Rocky and His Friends" debuted in 1959 on ABC. ---

Now that it's in the high 80's here, outdoor games are coming to mind, as well.

My sister, Dad and I used to play Red Light/Green Light...I'm sure there's many versions. Instead of trying to describe it, one of the best examples starts at 7:00 in...of course the whole cartoon is Bugs at his impish best and worth watching:

My sister and I were Bugs addicts, we'd act out the cartoons sometimes, and we'll still throw a Bugs line at each other. I forgot how many references we'd bring up from this cartoon alone.

The drugs in the 70's were really good. They had to be to come up with crap like this one. If you were high enough, you actually thought this was a cartoon :lol:

See, and I figure the drugs had to be absolutely necessary for the poor bastards performing in this crap. I guess that's when you KNOW you're dealing with crap: Both the producer AND the consumer have to be stoned to complete their respective functions in the process.

You had to be high to write this crap too. Everybody was high except the kids :lol:

70's were a blur :shock:

Imagine growing up watching this every day

One of my all time favorites.

In the mid 70s, they came up with this excellent one: "12"

I think this series is why I'm such a major deco fan. It started early.

Each number had a different interlude with its own animation.

This one features San Fran!

Today, I read that classic Sesame Street DVDs come with a warning label that it's for "grownups" (because they show kids without their stupid attachment-helicopter parents hovering over them every second. :roll:

)

We live in a stupid, stupid world.

Funny story. Junior year of HS, the two first chair trombones, myself and a guy that we'll call Harry, used to rush home every day to watch Bert and Ernie and do the bit in class the next day. Yes, I was Ernie. :lol:

The stuff a guy will do to get a girl, or while he's high is amazing :lol:

Used the trombone for stuff like that. I was new to the school, the way I figured it, I just made friends with a cross section of the whole school. Next thing, I was on Student council. :lol:
