Leash on board. Good idea. I had a boat out on the lake, not a speedy thing, but enough to pull a tube with the kids on it. Lots of fun. Until Beethoven jumped out of the boat. By the time I got it turned around and back to the dog, only the nose was still above water. Snagged him with a fishing net, and dragged him back on board. Bassets really can’t swim.

Ahhhh, The American 21st Amendment.

So did I, actually.

I guessed the likely occasion, and I knew the year, but not the day.

I Googled to make sure that’s what you meant by giving that date.

They could certainly have doubled up on some of the next generation, like putting siblings together, or pups with their parents, to make room for Deputy Dawg and Cleo Clifford. And maybe Fred Basset.

Who the heck is Santa’s little helper, anyway? And how many people know who Copper is, by name? Or even Hector… Which this chart misspells.

While they’re at it… Fix Snowy’s nameplate, please. It’s illegible.

Astro is there… 2nd dog in 2nd row.

Scooby Dum is probably too minor… They can’t have every character…
And this chart may have been made before Paw Patrol.

Well, I hope it’s not showing that they provide so little help to older people, their only transport is hooking their canes to the backs of busses.

I’m thinking it’s probably staged. Inline skates, the type of walking stick, and the fancy plastic bag, jar to me given the videos I normally see about life in Russia.

The Heckle and Jeckle show was on right before Captain Kangaroo and being before cable was available, I could only see a very snowy picture but I did appreciate their sarcasm enough to watch it anyway.

I remember a little of Captain Kangaroo, but it was at my grandparents’ house. We weren’t rich enough to afford a TV for many years.

Same.

But that is

assuming…

That the teeny thing or creature that’s too blurry to see, under or near the wing of Duck #3 is another duck.

And that two bills means two ducks, not just an open mouth.

More_Cats_Than_Sense
Reply to  SusanSunshine

That is one,

but:
I didn’t count the two markings that could be another one on the wing of duck #6. If you look closely at the two ducks with two bills then you’ll see the outline of the second head behind the head of the front duck.

Thanks… although…
That little double mark on duck #6 completely fails at achieving duckhood on my tablet.

If I try hard, I can sort of see the 2nd head outlined on Duck #4, but not #2…. And of course, I did count both as two ducks (which means we’re really talking about Ducks 2&3 and 6&7)… But they COULD be 2-headed ducks.

I think we agree, nonetheless, on a rational solution 🙂

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the King’s horses,
And all the King’s men,
Had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.

According to Getty images, slightly edited…..
Silent film star Dorothy Gulliver wears an egg costume and perches on a wall, as in the nursery rhyme ‘Humpty Dumpty’. April 15th 1930

Does Getty Images care to explain why Ms. Gulliver did this? No, they do not.

Nor does any other site where I found it. In fact, they said even less.

Obviously from the caption, a tree swallowed one of the trio. It was probably cropped out of the picture by mistake.

Maybe this is where Walter Lantz got the voice of his Woody Woodpecker character (which was first released in 1940, about 2 years after this Buggy cartoon…)

Come to think of it, you’re right. I tend to think of PP as an adjunct to BB, but it’s the opposite.
