You are trying to start war!'Ĭhris.I went looking for what you were talking about and the only thing I came up with is Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse. The Soviets responded (sounding like Boris), 'We know all about moose and squirrel. I read that creator Alex Anderson's partner Jay Ward, who promoted the Rocky and Bullwinkle series, tried to take them into Russia. They were political cartoons! The political satire went over my head as a kid. After I grew up I understood what it was. I felt the same way when I read cartoons in the Sunday morning 'funny papers' like 'Li'l Abner' and 'Pogo'. One thing about 'Rocky and Bullwinkle': when I was a kid I enjoyed watching them, but there was also something odd about the cartoon which I didn't quite 'get'.

When I was a kid I read a series of books called 'Tom Swift, Jr.' They were kind of like the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, only the hero was an eighteen year old scientist. But Johnny Quest, oh yes!

Also, they were originally called 'The Alvin Show' because of the popularity of Alvin later, Alvin & the Chipmunks. Their second year they moved to Saturday mornings. For the first year they were on the air (1961-1962), Alvin & the Chipmunks were broadcast during prime time, like the Flintstones. I would like to fine-tune something I said earlier.
