Happy Saturday! 

How many times have you heard someone say: Remember watching cartoons Saturday morning?!…
I’ve heard it many times and 'how great it was'.  A carefree feeling Saturdays mornings, I remember it as though it was yesterday (probably because I watched them a few days ago - lol) grabbing my cereal, rushing for a good spot on the carpet to watch Saturday morning cartoons, often with my cousins & we usually argued, as they being boys preferred the Three Stooges'.   Ask me who was my favourite  character & I have a difficult time deciding- Bugs, Daffy… Porky -they are all favourites - ask me who I don’t like,  that's easy - believe it or not it’s :   Tweety. 


Bird lover that I am, Tweety is not one of my favourites and I can’t even express why,  it’s always been that way.
Sylvester - love him, perhaps that’s why, poor kitty never getting to snack on Tweety.

Painting this, I struggled with Tweety.  He doesn’t look right but I have decided to move on.  It’s just a painting, painted for enjoyment.  It represents Life’ - one moment you are Sylvester - the next Tweety.  It’s the anticipation of cartoons - the guessing what might happen next that makes them successful. & ALL cartoonists & animators who have come since, have learned from WB cartoons. 

At least Sylvester gets the occasional ‘taste’ of Tweety, unlike they Coyote & Road Runner. I think my next set will be round, along these lines.. with action & reaction images, with No Bugs Bunny, The focus will be on other cartoon classics as there are many besides Bugs.  Who’ else influenced me, cartoon wise?    Scooby! Snoopy & Popeye just to name a few & of course Mickey.

It’s Saturday - Perhaps watch a few cartoons to start off in a light hearted mood.  Cartoons - not just for kids.  Really, WB cartoons in particular were often directed at adults & not children.  One hint to this reality is the amount of cartoons that reference to alcohol.  I noticed in one cartoon, Daffy Duck does a ‘strip tease dance’ (bearing right down to his skin) to fool a male chasing him & it works - as he smacks a kiss on his nose.  Obviously this was not directed at kids.  
​Watch again with adult eyes and you’ll notice something new.  


Grateful for another day to explore & enjoy.
