My history: In the '40s and '50s, cartoons were only allowed to be funny or slapstick funny (people and animals being hurt and then bouncing back). Nowadays, it is amazing that cartoons can affect attitudes toward REAL social issues. Mazeltov, Darrin. You always NAIL the social issues in such a unique comedic manner. It TOTALLY works. I think Edith and Archie Bunker, All in the Family, and The Jeffersons, also helped focus awareness on issues back in the days. Keep it coming! We, as a society, need your sense of humor more than ever. 2017 has been a HORRIBLE year in America.
