« Sneaky Saturday Morning »

Monday, July 13, 2009 at 11:37PM This morning I woke well before the children. Very unusual for a Saturday morning and I have to say this feels amazing! I feel a bit sneaky.
I feel especially sneaky because I watched... cartoons! Looney Toons cartoons, no less! Ones from when I was a kid! Not on tv, but via the twitt and blog and YouTube worlds.
Saturday morning cartoons is not something that my children have grown up enjoying. Sad but true. The kinds of cartoons that are offered now on a Saturday morning don't compare. And that's assuming you find them on the boob tube anymore; the good ones I mean.
You know what I'm talking about. Bugs, Daffy, Wiley E. Coyote, Elmer, Pepe le Peu... Now those were cartoons. Full of true cunning and social political issues, hysterical frustration, stupidity, and mockery. The stuff life ponderings and daydreams were made of.
So sad that almost a whole century worth of Saturday morning cartoons is almost a long gone thing of the past.
To watch some Looney Toons (in enlish and spanish) visit Saturday Morning Cartoons with Andrew T and Me.
