My job is more like a three ring circus. You should see all the clowns getting out of their cars in the morning!Kevin50r wrote:In my job I sometimes feel I'm living in a cartoon!

Sheepdog and Wolf
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 9:04 am
I was thinking about the old sheepdog versus wolf cartoons. Variation on the Roadrunner and Wil E. Coyote.
Wolf tries to steal sheep, dog always thwarts him. Slapstick abounds.
My favorite was the version where they show up for work, clock in, all friendly like, "Mornin' Fred; Mornin' Ralph".
What follows is a day of events typical of the theme - lots of violence, of course, these were formative cartoons.
Then, 5 o'clock whistle blows and its back to friendly time, "Night Fred; Night Ralph" as they clock out.
Just checking the pulse...

Cam. FWIW, I got the "mornin' Fred, mornin' Ralph." dialogue immediately! That was one of my all time favorites scenes as well.
The younguns just have no idea what they missed.

Mike,
since you pointed out which cartoon that was, I remember it. I like that one too. But I'm not old enough to be a baby-boomer.

1. Tweety and Sylvester-Sylvester goes to hell and uses up 8 of his 9 lives
2. " " " -Moving Granny into a new apt
3." " " - Tweety nests in a telephone pole in a junkyard

4. Bugs - The barber of seville episode, damn thing always made me cry
when elmer killed Bugs
5. Foghorn - Foghorn adopts the little genius chicken

MikeCam,
Those workaday cartoon were actually Looney Tunes done in the 50's and starred Bugs and Daffy (mostly). The Hannah Barbara cartoons were animated in the 60's and brought about the Flintstones and Huckleberry Hound (and GRAPE APE).
I know I'm being a bit nerdly here, but I feel that the looney tunes were a much funnier cartoon. They were more risque- even for the 50's than the HB's from the 60's which were made for TV.
Personally, I loved the cartoons where they were buddies before and after work. I think those cartoons may have led to the modern sitcom.
