The Easiest Way To Draw A Close To Your Next Retreat
I like cartoons. I mean, who does not.
They represent an epoch of innocence that only lasts about 10 years where each and every story kicks off with 'Once upon a time ' and concludes with 'happily ever after. '
The End.
Or is it?
I have fond recollections of rising early before juniour high solely to gaze in awe in front of the telly and watch Tom & Jerry run around chasing themselves.
Or hilarious characters in the vein of Dick Dastardly and his fighter pilot hound Muttley, with that cheeky bark-cum-laugh hi hi hi hi hi hi hi!
Thanks to those ingenious Warner Bros, moms and pappas around the planet taught their kids about the birds and the bees with dogs and cats.
And roosters, bears, mice, rabbits, panthers, ducks. In reality it seemed, anything apart from an actual person.
And who can forget Bugs Bunny's taste for carrots, Wiley Coyote's obsession with ACME dynamite, and Pepe Le Pew's constant amorous moves toward anything with a heartbeat.
Come to think about it, those cunning cartoonists were prepping us small rug rats for life in (and beyond) the playground.
If you remove the lovable characters, enchanting music and obviously, the brekkie timeslot, you had an adult narrative of Food, Hate and Love that was offered daily into impressionable hearts along with Cheerios, non-skim milk and that bewitching tune of 'snap, crackle and pop. '
I don't know which was more sugary - the Fruit Loops or the Loony Tunes?
Sunday morning television sure was a regular Animal Farm. (And no, not the one you are thinking).
You learned the facts of life from comics - a long time before The Facts Of Life was first aired in on the cusp of the 80's!
Then there was also that strange group of blue characters called The Smurfs who lived in a magical forest and ate miraculous fungi (or was that the creators of the show?). Let's bear in mind this was way before The Blue Man Group - and lots more interesting, if you ask me.
I mean, where in any society does there exist a family unit composed of only one female and an apparently never-ending supply of males, led by the one they call "Papa"?
I believe here's where the phrase 'Who's your daddy ' had its roots, but that is another subject altogether.
The point is, whether you are a big kid or a tiny kid, cartoons are always tons of fun.
It doesn't matter if you're watching them on the television or watching a pro cartoonist draw a caricature: a creative illustration, a black and white sketch, or an artistic doodle can take us all back to that golden age of innocence.
Ha ha, I said doodle.
