End of the episodes critics and reviews

When this blog was launched since two years now, it was about a lecturing of the history of the Brandy & Mr. Whiskers TV series and also, how the Disney company, back in the mid-00s, were in a artistic turmoil by make every online fans thinking that "HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION IS DEAD!" by the Box-office failure of Home On the Range... Well, that's what they may thinking.

Later, Disney made the risqué task to getting hand-drawn features back in theaters with 2009s Princess and the Frog, but except the fact it features a "black" princess, a first for the entire studio, it was simply a very forgettable film; with some of the worst kinds of animations ever done, such as the frog male doing a rather jarring 'Tude face. Is that was a thing then, too?

The real last studio's animated feature entirely made on hand-drawn before to simply closed the shop for more CGIs was 2011s Winnie the Pooh. Like a final farewell to nearly one century of magic and timeless stories that soon, will turn the whole structure of the corporation at awkward by telling things for a very internet-horny and masochist audience. I am not one of them anymore.

But since over a year, this goal has changed by thrown away the original blog's plan, and where my own time is been more limited than before, the decision is to finally cancelled the remaining reviews and critiques of the animated series, which I own a passion to it back two decades ago, by let telling me at that time that newer animated productions don't always sucks if the heart is in the right place.

That sounds like the classic animation snubs from the forum I joined in the past before to completely shutdown for Facebook. Now, this is rather pointless to launch an elite about the animation pionneers, which makes the first "official" Home Video collection of the 1920s Paul Terry's Aesop's Fables at unbelievable, that animation historian and film archivist Thad Komorowski has investing all his bucks to given it an official Home Video release-- To think that over a quarter-century ago, he was likely a rotten 'toon nerd! (Sorry, Thad! I know you hate me for my awkward english, but I admire everything you have done for given to American animation from the old era a much accurate look as seen from original filmprint than what were done by big studios in years.)

In production order, we've given the reviews of every segments from Mr. Whiskers' First Friend (1-1) to the lone half-hour adventure On Whiskers, On Lola, On Cheryl and Meryl (1-31); plus Whiskers the Great (1-33), Radio Free Bunny (1-35) which it beginning this journey, the rather excecrable Freaky Tuesday (1-40) and the series' finale Rip Van Whiskers (2-18) at a April Fool's post, by claimed all the more seriously that the John McIntyre's season 2 segments are not worth to own a critique if everything what made the setup of the series so special first is been destroyed by an urban jungle filled by what may looked like if those out-of-nowhere 1940s Screen Gems shorts will own a legit reboot.

But this blog is far to finish. There's more that will come soon... Such amazing for someone who cannot standing to operate a blog over than a few months.

Holidays Magic by Coca-Cola

Some sources may claims that the origins of the Santa Claus character went from an unlikely source: From the minds who brought Coca-Cola to life. You know, a soda pop that went with full of sugar, tooths decay and where kids and youths went addicted to this like Pepsi and company are?

When we know the rate of obesity keep to augmented anywhere in the world, that junk-foods chains from the America are become more accessible than before or that fatphobia is what screams those university intellectuals who only own knowledge from ChatGPT or Wikipedia, the history of Coca-Cola went from a medicine syrup that didn't worked out well. Releasing tons of plastic bottles of this the day in the world by also exploited the most vulnerable communities (Like the ordeal when a TV spot was made in 2015 on a Mexico-like community and where rotten hipsters carry the Holidays magic by made-up a Christmas tree with the bottles' caps -- But who actually do THIS at home??) is all the more nerve-wrecking. Especially if I know tons of people who never dare to drink milk, or so, water!

In Belgium by January 1th, any ads that are related to junk-foods chains or unhealthier foods will be banned anywhere, which this is something that any concerned countries demanded this. In Canada, they've still playing Coca-Cola TV spots on any occasions and that still made me cringe that announcers are not concerned of the scientifical datas to the problems of overweight to youths.

These searchs have to be made by real experts and people. Not someone from a table who use Google for have an answer.

The biggest intellectual scam from the '20 decade went with corporal diversity -- Which celebrate our body like we like ourselves is a neat gimmick, but if you went with real overweight and that you don't assume that you are responsible of your habits, you have a problem.

I am still amazed that there is more fat people in the past ten years than I do have remembered from my old school days. Canada Health may us know if what we consum contain sodium, sugar, salt or anything, but we ask true actions of their part -- Banned soda drinks out of advertising like we did with cigarettes in the end of the past-century would only made sense, by be something any parenting groups ask for.

Despite any recommandations, a lot of dentists have to painfully "fix" and removed any teeths that went with lots of problematic like decay, germs of a half-teeth that were broke by times. At the time that the population went more older, our health display with that too.

This is why I don't recommand ANYONE to trust Influencers about health. Do your searchs. Check the facts. Trust more the true heroes and heroines in the job: Scientists, doctors, dietiticians and nurses are in better position to covered your sore than a loser who only make biaised facts from Tiktok.

To say nothing that many kids went at a early age with fat liver or diabetes already. Like someone on the bus who munch its chips to our face is became my newer annoyance. Is eating chips is the only thing these persons known to do in life?

Because I know people who never would ate any vegetables of fruits for snacks. I know some who still refuse to learn the basics by cook at home. And that they exists real people with real overweight problems and argue about some pills like Ozempic to thrown it away. We have no right to discriminate them, but we can help them with constructive-thinking and without lecturing them.

But Coca-Cola...? This is another thing...

To the way they continue to exploited the natural ressources from the most poorer areas like in South America or Mexico and make children of these places like crazy by the amount of sugar that contained in these bottles are parts why at a single person and no kids at charge, be oblivious that we going to have a generation of fat kids in no time is the wrong way to spread your message of inclusion or diversity, as it's so fun to be fat by ate tons of Nutella jars.

Celebrate the Holidays would be more useful if Coca-Cola just don't raid our nerves with their own Holidays ads, now created all by AI, and without follow the basics of how the world of advertising anywhere have to work.

What is going to happen in Belgium by January have to do the same here. If in maybe five years or less, sugar soft drinks in ads are going to be obsolete. The health world (When they won less in money than those biggest corporated-factories) will thanks you for that.

R.I.P. My comics life - 2005-2025

This is really something that went on mind since a fewer years. Knowing that the upcoming 2026s Angoulême BDs festival will be cancelled and after any attempts to working on a newer comics work, my only decision is to make definitely over my comics hobbying, if the future of all it is not highly promising.

This change of mind went from a series of factors: The elite of the graphic novel artform who make fun of the normal, working-class people and also, the artists, illustrators and other people on the job is all the more irking. Them, posed since over two decades like a bully to many parents groupings, who still pretend (Even if it's the case) that many series that "supposed" to targeted youths and children contains much discarding segments of sex, violence, coarse language and crass humor than any shows seen for grown-ups on Prime Time. Like with animation thesedays, this artform had a problem of growing with Digital, which meant it have to please an audience who only known the world by the obscure webpages.

Fans tent to exagerated and overreacted on anything, which makes their talkings in social media all the more baffling. Back in 2016, Charles Kenny have aware us of the discord that surrounded between creators and fans, and that the latter tent to have lose completely ANY insight with reality, which makes open the bar to more lewd impulses to women and also, kids for that matter.

This demonstrate that everything we've created for make lasting-changes in any capability appear like an illusion, which it's probably not the executives' fault, of course, but to social media and the very rabid fans and Influencers who take over all the creative industry. Letting them stealing the jobs of a real artist who need it for feed family and pay bills.

Because I have created eleven adventures of Christine on the course of a decade-and-a-half, such mini-stories and also an impressive series of gags pages that lasted the nearly 100 number is typically, an achievement, for someone who has never worked for a book editor. And that was it. 

Any attempts from me in the past three years were soured to the fact that maybe, my artistic status has passed its prime and that everything made by Post-2022s staying to me suspect, or that you need to hired massochists predators for make the job, like the rampant mainstream mess about the Netflix's animated film K-Pop Demon Hunters, where cynicism is getting rear its ugly claws again in the animated features industry and why for over a decade, I can't longer watch a series or a movie without have the feeling that this may be just a mere brain-washing experiment.

This is why I argue for years that the fantasy world if full of rotten fanatics who want the job, not because of talent or actual life-knowledge, but to please followers in Tiktok and also, ego -- The artist's most perpetual worst enemy in any kind.

One have to blame Chuck Jones for at least, displayed the "ego" thing in his own latter, Post-WBs work, but he went still able to keep working in newer animated works with a full budget. This is not him who was in charge of that now-on haphazard Road Runners from Format Films (Every of them directed by Rudy Larriva, one of his inaugural animators that date back to the early-1940s) that is visually an outrage to what has done in his 24 shorts' series that were likely a tribute to the spot-gags of old by remaining the same two characters for the same plot. A little like why his own Tom & Jerrys were figured like there.

And that with Artificial Intelligence, the bubble-like culture by the likes of Spotify, Netflix or Disney+, the algorithms from the Tech monopolies and that many people went soured by the increasing cost of essential needs and to losing service on their own areas, just cutting to the creative world wouldn't hurt anyone, even if that appear to me very silly to think everyone's born to been an artist while in reality, that went with a series of challenges and shown your proofs to serious judges.

Do you know which properties are the ones who still make money thesedays? Tom & Jerry for classic animation and Asterix the Gaul for the comics stuff. Their worldwide appeal stays unbreakable on the sea of forgettable, predictable and frankly, tepid short-series that went more about fanservice than reach a real goal.

This is by it that killed my interest for Elles. I have says already my impression here and also here in this blog. The character is sadly what looked like the official re-incarnation of Daffy Duck from the monotonous and ill-fitting Depatie-Freleng era. I can just have the image of that bitch chasing an annoying Mexican faster mouse.

Instead to created stock heroines who exists only for lured metrosexuals and their sexist schemes, I would like a lot that many people in Holidays think more to the people who came with mental health, itinerance, the many traumas from worldwide wars or any sick seniors or children who wait a "miracle" in order to heal and own a better life as possible. I would like them to went on a real hospital, a school, a retirement house, by do benevolent and helping the crew who went crazy by the many changing plans of our own government. Many celebrities and artists would learned to it, by lacked completely any steps of respect or empathy to the public who have make them a living since the October 7th 2023's Hamas' mass-attacks.

To me, working on such NSFW (Not Safe For Work) complete artworks is far more thrilling and endearing than it was on my comics pages of old, where the energy and fun are no longer here. The passion of it has gone as long I known the murky reality of the creativity world is full of haters and losers who just known the society by Memes, without known the sources that went by.

R.I.P. Tony Benedict

(I hate to felt to own an obligation to updating this blog, but this is another one that need to be widely spread, about one man who had put a well-deserved contribution to the animation business.)

We'll just known this morning that animation writer Tony Benedict has passed away at age 88. The Yowp's blog mentionned it. Mark Evanier do it as well. At a Hanna-Barbera studio fan, I had no choice, but, to honored the legacy of another great and caring man who was loved by everyone.

His animation career beginning years after he went out of the Marine Corps. He started by worked for Walt Disney in 1956, then at an in-betweener (Or assistant animation for be clear) for the Sleeping Beauty feature until to moved in 1959 at U.P.A. for directed several Mr. Magoo shorts.

But when more writers was in demand in the Hanna-Barbera studio and specifically, for the prime time animated project that came in, Tony Benedict was there for wrote the scripts, and then, working on several Huckleberry Hound and Yakee Doodle episodes, which he made a sort of Alfred Hitchcock impersonation, Alfie Gator. It's obvious that he was a fan of the suspense's master, or at least, the TV show that was still-on at that time.

This is clear that Benedict was more assigned to wrote stories for The Magilla Gorilla Show, the original Secret Squirrel's cartoons segments and also, The Jetsons, which it's by him alone, that the creation of Astro may existed.

Anytime you read the ending credits and seen his name billed there, you know already that you are in paradise, even if the studio is badly known and remembered by dismal haters to churned on very-bad-quality products all over and keep to re-using the same old characters (Sometimes at crossovers) in different spots.

But like it does with Jerry Eisenberg that year, Tony's legacy to keep ran the animation business at endearing for all ages of audience have to be celebrated and remembered. Though his health condition weren't that good in the later years. We have no choice, but to thinking that without his contribution, the likes of Jetsons, Magilla and others would never be made the day for what we'll took it for granted today. It couldn't be that hard to known that people make cartoons for raise their own families and not that for art or make topical changes like it is currently the norm in modern-day animation.

It only prove me again that the Hanna-Barbera studio's fans and artists keep to staying the greatest people who have ever made this ground.

The origins of Frank's "Best Ove!"

Longtime François Pérusse's fans like me known that he has done everything -- from TV animated shows to commercials to live-action movies and now, a theatre play for the upcoming year! He is an humorist, author-composer-writer, have won tons of Gémeaux for his past albums and also own a very succesful time with Europe, by be able to clash his ludicrous and predictable puns to their own ropes without betraying anyone who have helped him to make a bright career in first place.

Now at his age of retirement, the "retirement" word sounds too much at a risk nowadays, which it's not guarantee that you'll lived happily after quit the working world. François is now age 65, but his peak days is for long behind him, enough to still attract a nostalgic audience who have supported him until his label, Zéro Musique, does its part for the Earth by make its 2021s final album in Digital download only. Not the greatest album I ever hear from him, but still...


Released in 2017, Best Ove! is theorically, a compilation of classic lines with several newer contents slipped to the radar. Unless the Pirate album that were old skits that becoming all-new to album, the remaining album retraced the evolution of his work by be complimented like an adequate "Frank's Least Worst Reels". Originally, it having to be a remake of the most-selled album by the 1990s, the second volume or "Tome 2".

The supposed album that never made the day having to include a song that would replaced the Montreal Expos that has vanished forever in 2004 for the Toronto Blue Jays. To seen the only Canadian major baseball team to figured this year in the finals series after years to waiting (But lost it by a bad approval) their place in the finals.

We never known what a Tome 2 reboot would be look because that were never been materialized... and if Best Ove! is the outcome of an album project that has never came to life, well, this is as good that there is.

His past albums in my knowledge are generally best to mild to simply disappointing. For have listening lots of his original stuffs on radio or online in the early internet days, I known that lots of needling re-recordings are necessary to make his albums as good, and where the budgets to make it legit staying smaller. Zéro Musique is a division of Universal Music, but consumers at that time weren't that thrilling to seen an "Alien from Outer Space" being who improvised himself at humorist and make wise-cracking puns in the dialogues as he never left the early TV animation age.

And that's a good thing that he learned to developped his writing skills by his contracts with France's Europe 2. (And Rire et Chansons later, though these prime days are definitely gone for a good fifteen years.) He beginning his working journey on a music store, then, on a community radio (Louis-Paul Fafaralard is the key inspiration for this) until he gotten a chance with CKOI which he staying with them for five years. Later, in 2002, Énergie approached him to getting back in Québec's radios, which it was an urging need in this period. This is there that the slice-of-life issues are been replaced by topical news by even be able to "write" his skits without just be concerned to how-much-lame-wordplays-you-will-got.

With fifteen albums at his disposition, the Tome 11, released through the Post-2020s pandemic, was likely a tribute to the Progressive Rock, a genre of music that has displaying an impact to his teenager life over a mid-century ago, that they didn't played much at radio and that most of the tunes lasted of ten minutes or more. They were real works of art until the Hit Radio Tunes beginning to make everything in Auto-Pilot by the 1980s.

Back to Best Ove!, this is among very clever for an anthology album, but not an essential purchase. It's shame when this and the final Tome 11 were there that the quality of his own albums wavering from track to track. If the Tomes 8, 9 or 10 did worked out perfectly by giving to these albums some needed-prestige, why this constant drop as we had forget the horrific Tome 6 and 7 days?

Another problem that face Frank's work and that I had noticed by the times he went to Énergie is predictability and formula. Especially for long-running series of skits, it's very difficult to be more original or novel for such work that were destined to be forgotten after it was running on radio the first time. When his old skits were played at an animated TV show in 2000, I was a little disappointed of the execution when instantly, I have to realize quickly that the animation have to respected what the dialogues says. It didn't lasting long for a reason and a quarter-century later, this is probably for the best. Especially when we know that animation can't be just a string of random eye-takes and crass jokes!

Best Ove! offered also a cute tribute to François' father in the finale, whom he has passed away in years like 2005 and was the central focus of the Tome 7's album debut. A nice touch to a cheering person, but hardly necessary for collectors who still demanded more from him, as that was that simple...

The budgets cuts in the cultural industry, physical media dying to consumers for the Digital one, the murky royalties to artists from Spotify and others -- To say nothing of the way most radios still act as they can playing anything without to follow the CRTC's obligations like many music radios do in several public stores.

My passion to him date of adolescence, when a old friend of my older brother make us listening Frank's albums at home. This is something new and thrilling that happened and that make me a revelation! -- To make use of his works to "created" by myself such compilations based of what was ran on the ABC's The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show's final years, when it was still playing in saturday mornings only. 

But when ABC definitely ended its run in September 2000, I was saddened, but not surprised if the final year taking too long to be seen, or that ABC, that is owned by Disney, shown no longer interest to ran these adequately. Those were the days where a shift of Post-48s shorts deemed necessary to ran more shorts featuring Marvin the Martian (That was 1998, REMEMBER!), the return of Devil May Hare that introducing the Tasmanian Devil to the world, by be a hot consuming-property at that time, some show's premieres like a handful of Road Runners, two from the Honey-Mousers trilogy or even so, the very "artsy" I Was a Teenage Thumb, that made its first and rare exposure to National American Television since leaving ABC for Nickelodeon (Which it was somehow a graveyard for such obscure things like those computer-colorized versions of black-and-white Porkys or the cut-rate Depatie-Freleng/Seven-Arts era.) in 1990.

What can I says more? I don't longer follow him or his works for several years, to have made use enough of him and that my real needs may change overtime. The best way to support his work and keep him working have to be the basic: Buy his albums! Don't steal his works in the internet just because it didn't featured on albums! It's amazing that he was one of the most "pirated" Franco artists in the world in 2001-02 (Seriously!) and this is why his first Best Ove! compilation, L'album Pirate, was originally made.

It's also only a shame that even his spoof show of TV news, Le Journul, never would be redone the same way with all the fake news, social media pundits, algorithms and AI-fakery that contradict the works of journalists, and what says more about Wikipedia to make wrong issues from random morons as fixed facts?

I think that's all, folks, for the day for paraphrase another famous cartoon character from another animated series of shorts.

Mickey's Good Deed

With the Holidays shopping rush is officially launch by the American Thanksgiving, I have not a big amount of love for the Christmas time, especially not since the "magical" touch that keeping it in life by the lives of my own grandparents has faded away with them for a longtime, (F**k Cancer!) and then, the ordeal to hear overbearing and rather unnimpressive Christmas songs while at work for hours make me all the more stressful. Seriously, spending a day in an Haunted House seems less frightening than that.

Christmas appear like the most natural theme for any animated offerings. It went by association to at least, producing one special episode for every show in this Holidays time. And where some-known TV specials has make the test of time. Some keep the Christmas-feel that we all need in this troubled time - SOME - but to others, they are just plain forgettable, by promote more the cynical commercialization of the Holidays with main characters acted at selfish brats. Such a thing that even the very first Peanuts' TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, has took figuratively to this complain.

But here's something different for this blog: A comparison of two versions of the same cartoon that themed of Christmas, and with the times, it is among one of the greatest ever: Mickey's Good Deed!

While Walt Disney getting big fame by his own Mickeys and color Silly Symphonies series, the iconic rodent star is always plays like the top-header of the early-1930s cartoondom. And where Van Beuren and others tried hardly to imitate and even so, copying the Mickey/Minnie characters all the way, with legal sue that Walt has took in action against these copyacts.

This 1932s cartoon is released from the Post-Depression era, where people changed anytime jobs in order to getting something off to their table. Mickey, with his dog Pluto, are tramps in this charming short, by playing violin in order to own money for a good Christmas meal. But chaos endured when Pluto is been adopted by a family of wealthy dog/pig-like people in exchange of money to our mouse hero that also featuring one of the earliest impressions of a spoiled-brat kid and actor Jimmy Durante in a cartoon. 

The bratty piglet is nearest of the same vein as Huey, Dewey and Louie or Sylvester Jr. in Goldimouse and the Three Cats when his father keep to tell him at a "spoiled-brat"(Despite these spoilers, the Freleng/Maltese short has none connection with the Sylvester/Jr. cartoons from what Robert McKimson had made in the same period.) I haven't seen this short in ages and that the only time I has took this chance, is from a family-friendly Disney's DVD that Blockbuster having for rental at that time, back in 2006. It was the 1991s colorized version, which actually, don't looked on different to the Computer-Colorized versions from black-and-white Warner films, but are times more watchable than those ill-fitting redrawn Porkys or Popeyes shorts!


The cartoon has all -- Heart, a clear life-observation of poverty or that not every people have the same chance to own Christmas presents and treats (Such tragic that the same problem does happen with the inflation of today!), the issues between the smarmy wealthiest and poorer classes of people, a charming humor and music that work with the biggest care, or simply that Mickey was at the peak of his career. This is what many of his imitators lacking -- A sense of humor and royalty by not playing the cloying urban mans like in his 1940s or 50s shorts. Despite the earliest influence went throughout the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, in this, he's likely Charlie Chaplin in his own fine form, like the Pink Panther were seen like a hungry hobo in several of his own shorts.

It's also a testament that nearly one century later, the cartoon remains timeless and fresh by be devoid of musical numbers that would slipped off to the radar. It's not the same Feel-Good production thing that we are scared of. Animation in our age, is definitely controlled by large corporations who have no heart for what they owned for, are also cynical with the silenceful majority like it were in the late-1990s and let lots of animators and artists in a tacky nine-to-five job instead to let them exploring their own ideas to an audience who gains excitement to fresh blood. Walt Disney was fair that the 1930s Mickeys were among the greatests of that era, but it didn't took long before competition with other studios would make losing his appeal, and eventually, Mickey's biggest opponent is maybe not Betty Boop, Popeye or Porky Pig. It's... COLOR!

This is in the process to producing the later Mouse's shorts on color that he soon, losing his hero status, and for Walt's desires to climb the limits of the art, animated features were planned to the drawing board too. That may explain why for many fans out there, the Mickeys comics were truly more larger-than-life than it were in his later cartoons shorts. 

Mickey's Good Deed still works today by be both timeless and a powerful message of caring and giving to the unluckiest ones of the society in this time of narcissism and pure greed. And they were better drawn than the competition who still went with crude cartoon art!

And here's the original Black-and-White version for comparison! Enjoy, 'toons fans!

How to make a "Girls Only" movie in 2025

This is next friday that a newer live-action movie with a rather strange title will make its official theatrical release. The first time I've seen this was the promo ad from a shelter bus near of home. Its call Les Furies. I thought myself, "Have we don't get much of movies themed of "Furries" yet?". But then, the name covering a newer dimension to it -- a film about an all-women roller-derby team. And this is where the structure is far much intriguing.

Unlike the Girls movie stuff we have seen in the long and painful '00s decade of entertainment, the movie do the promotion of supporting each other and diversity, but not for diversity's sake like the trap too many modern things are screwed about.

And seeing a roller-derby team on a movie is rather a refreshing change of the same football, baseball or hockey films we have seen in ages. Especially one that are about middle-age guys who had build a garage hockey team, and had overwhelmed on everything, from 5 movies, one prequel film, a TV series that is still shown elsewhere even in reruns and even a play stage! Is Les Furies' cast are going to achievied all this by the first week-end in theaters?

People don't longer go in theaters for seen the same things on Netflix. (Weird that the Reed Hastings company has co-funded the production of this picture.) And where a girly movie is became more harder to do it without that went with sexism or outrage by hysteric women-haters on their basement. The existence of social media and the loot of Super Heroes movies only make the High-School Teens Girls movie genre at obsolete and formulaic. But we are in 2025, and then, they are grown-ups who only wanna help each other. That made sense now this movie finally arrived to came in life.

But just don't judge the picture to the poster, please! It would be something like a rather fun ride and a fair alternative of everything seen from Les Boys for nearly three decades. We don't have to copying the American movie system for reach an audience. Just shown heart and quality to the script are enough for make a positive impact, on a time where worldwide movies leads the festivals and notoriety of any movie critics, unless the ones from big American studios in the entire world.

Cheryl and Meryl

This is the problem with the animation community all over; when something came hyped like the sudden inclusion of the Terrytoons library on Me-TV Toons, there's no rest to me for post anything that went on any concerns.

The inclusion of the female Toucan twin sisters Cheryl and Meryl, always appear to me at the most stock and boring characters from the Brandy & Mr. Whiskers show, just because you know already what's going to happen to them. Already, in The Babysitter's Flub, their first introduction speaks by itself.

These are not Heckle and Jeckle, the two wise-cracking magpies from Paul Terry in his Terrytoons fame. They are not clever, either fun or able to challenged the simple tasks of cartoon logic. Them, you can never make them together, even not by a ten-foot pole.

This is probably the most weakest part on the entire show, maybe more than grassopher girl Margo. Yeah, she is exactly Brandy Harrington at a bug, but at least, she had true bonafide personality at her own, which neither Cheryl or Meryl could make.

The reason of this post is there is some hoopla about Me-TV Toons showing for the first time in American National Television on decades a fraction of the Terrytoons library; which it consists of Mighty Mouse, (Both the original shorts and that 1987s TV iteration) Heckle and Jeckle, the Terry Bears, (Why these?) and the TV Terrytoons series Mighty Heroes, which it is pretty small compared to the scope Terry has delivered in its long 40-years operation on his studio.

If you enjoy the Auto-Pilot cat-and-mouse formulas or the same cheap stock sound effects of Terrytoons, it's on every Sunday afternoon at 3pm to 5pm on Me-TV Toons. Heckle and Jeckle are featuring there and these are frankly, more entertaining to watch than ANYTHING from Cheryl and Meryl.
