Spent an hour this morning watching old Bugs Bunny cartoons with Jake. It's interesting that a 7 year old in 2009 would be just as interested in these as I was when I was 7 back in 1968. That's a spread of 40 years!!


It made me wonder why some things are so sticky and timeless. Why do some things seem to last forever, and others come and go. I may be wrong but it might have something to do with these 3 points.....

• Slapstick has always been funny and it always will be.


• There is a certain comfort in seeing all the jokes coming.


• There is a clear line between good and bad. Bugs and Elmer. The coyote and the roadrunner. The lines are easy to see and the good guy is easy to like.

Now time to switch football. I mean cartoons are fun, but, come on.
