My Uncle Quont's begun to dote
On days that long have passed.
I feel I really must take note,
And fear he's sinking fast.
How long before he will imbibe
The juice of many prunes?
For now he wants us to describe
Our favorite of cartoons!
Now many years ago, you bet,
Though I am shamed to say.
I'd sit before the t-v set
And waste a Saturday.
But nowadays the cartoon shows
Pale imitations are.
They can't compete at all with those
When Mickey was a star.
And so I seldom watch the stuff,
Nor view their merry capers.
I get my chuckles right enough
Within the funny papers.
I do have a few favorites among the plethora of printed cartoons; some of them, alas, no longer running. These would include: Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County (somewhat adequately replaced by "Opus"), and "Doonesbury". It's at least remotely possible that this is a political statement. So be it.
