I didn’t think of that when considering made-up, gag newspapers in Warner cartoons. <br /><br />But, sometimes, they didn’t gag it up when they should have, as I observed when writing about the 1958 Elmer Fudd cartoon “A Mutt in a Rut” – from my 2011 Foghorn Leghorn DVD post: <br /> <br />http://tiahblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/dvd-review-looney-tunes-superstars.html<br /><br />“This cartoon is notable in several ways. It is surely one of Arthur Q. Bryan’s last turns as Elmer Fudd. In addition to Bryan and (of course) Mel Blanc, Daws Butler speaks ONE LINE as a TV announcer. If one were to freeze-frame on the newspaper Fudd reads, there are stories of violent California rain storms and narcotics! And there is an on-camera shooting death of a grizzly bear!”<br /><br />Narcotics? Really? How’d THAT get by? Good thing they didn’t have freeze-frame back then!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-86198941306151402602013-01-08T17:15:18.827-05:002013-01-08T17:15:18.827-05:00At least Warner Bros. cartoons were smart enough t...At least Warner Bros. cartoons were smart enough to know we'd have newspapers around until at least 2000 A.D.: remember those headlines in "The Old Grey Hare" from The Daily Rocket?
