You know it is funny to experience the effect that scarcity has on things in life. Namely, our appreciation of them and how much love you have for something which is hard to obtain. To think that when we were let out of school, it was a mad sprint to get home in time for our favorite show.

A show that played but once in a day and then was gone for at least another twenty-four hours, if not more. We would make plans, we would cancel outings and when it was important enough we trusted our will to the VCR gods and hoped that when we returned home we would have our favorite show recorded in full waiting for us to be kind and rewind. So we hope you enjoy this throwback down memory lane with some of the seminal cartoons that we craved growing up.

  • Looking back, you have to question how much of our perceptions of romantic relationships were formed, molded and inspired by this cute couple. Sure Daffy was not perfect in any way, but he always did his best to please Daisy, to make things right, to show her that even if it didn’t look like it for a moment, that he loves her dearly and deeply.

  • Oh snoopy, you might have been a cartoon dog, but if anyone truly appreciated the right way to live life it has to be you. You never let anything bother you, and even when it did you made sure it was known that your boundaries were crossed (looking at you woodstock). And best of all you knew how to enjoy the good times too, case in point.
