When I was young I spent my Saturday mornings in our ‘TV room’, watching cartoons (and this may help to explain how I got to be the way I am…). There wasn’t anything else on TV on Saturday mornings (well, perhaps the other channel, though quite snowy, would be broadcasting stale news); the cartoon characters below are some of the most memorable (and a couple I only recall because of their odd names):
Quick Draw McGraw (aka El Kabong), & Snuffles, his dog
Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole
Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-A-Long Coyote
Super Snooper and Blabber Mouse
The Mighty Heros (Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man & Diaper Man)
