The Velvet Foghorn, I'll tell you whut
Some of us let jokes in Bugs Bunny cartoons passively fly over our heads, some of us were prompted to research what they were all about
For example: Foghorn Leghorn was a tribute to "Senator Claghorn," a loudmouth Southern politician character on the popular Fred Allen radio show
I am more than willing to commit the rest of my life to explaining 1900-1970 pop cultural references to prevent their extinction
I am not going to sit idly by and allow my progeny live in a dark future that has no memory of Ish Kabibble

*if you accept the theory that Elvis "died"
There is a compelling theory that the universe contains a fixed amount of Elvis that can neither be created or destroyed.

E = MC^2
where
E = Elvis
M = Memphis
C = Cadillac

I have never been so proud
In a fair world, Joe Exotic would be on the cover of GQ and Carole Baskin on the cover of Vogue as our new fashion icons
Some people watch Downton Abbey or Mad Men for the cool clothing, I watch Tiger King

1) Alright fuckheads. Yeah, you. Yeah, all of you. I did my threads on millennials. I did those because I was trying to create understanding, trying to show where they were coming from so maybe, just maybe, y’all might be able to find some common ground.
2) Then, some study comes out showing millennials have far less sex, and suddenly the right is awash with ‘lol nu men’ ‘millennial men are a bunch of pussies’ etc etc. i’ve blocked kurt schlichter because it was all he was fucking talking about.

Let me put shit in perspective.
3) Millennials have lower credit scores than previous generations. Between that and private credit just fucking ending for us after the 2008 recession, that leads to several OTHER issues:

Rush Limbaugh just said it best, that every one of Mueller's so-called Witnesses has been labeled a liar by Mueller himself, and of course the Democrats and the leftist media
At one time or another every single one of Mueller's Witnesses has been labeled a liar by the left. Sorry, but you don't get to tell me someone's a liar for 3 years, and then tell me to start believing that same person when he starts saying the things that you want him to say.
And when is someone more likely to tell the truth, before or after they have long-term jail sentences being held over their heads to specifically say something that the investigator wants them to say, in return for a lesser sentence

So the story from this weekend: Sat night was discussing political messages in the old Warner Bros./Bugs Bunny cartoons. Sunday morn I drive a couple miles down the road & see this:

*Fine print says, "The Boss is Coming!"

(❤️ ya, #ATL!) /1
Anyhow, it had me thinking about the "Father of Contemporary Animation," Chuck Jones. I had been to one of his galleries in New Mexico but still didn't feel like I knew the real story behind his greatness. /2
And greatness of this caliber is often associated with early lives of pain & suffering.

I immediately looked him up, & found my answer within the first few paragraphs about his childhood.

You see, Chuck Jones was born in Spokane, but his family moved to CA in the 1920s. /3

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
