Where does this leave me for today’s art sketch? I decided to illustrate a scene popular in the days when I watched the Looney Tune cartoons that I called ‘Uncensored’.
Many of us had the privilege to watch these fun cartoons in the day when no one complained that Elmer Fudd tried to blast that wascally wabbit. The only one who came up short usually was Elmer. Today, if you watch an old Looney Tunes feature you probably are viewing one with deleted or edited scenes. I found a Best Compilation HD – Vol. 14 uploaded by a generous subscriber featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. The video is almost an hour long. You might not have time to watch it now but bookmark this post of later when you do have time.
Another possibility is ‘uncut’. I found a clip according to the person who uploaded the video reports the last few seconds or the original has been removed for syndication because of it’s offensiveness. I’m not sure if this aired but it seems a similar one did play when I was little, though.
Although I don’t agree with prejudice and hatred for any person(s) I never thought of such things when I was a kid and still don’t. In recent years, past favorites such as Pepe Le Pew and Speedy Gonzales have been removed because of stereotyping or offensive behavior which is hogwash. Oops, sorry Porky Pig for using such language! I can’t say first hand what the creators intent was but I don’t believe it was meant to be serious. I wish we could once again go back to those days of innocence to enjoy humor for what is without fear of upsetting someone.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your day. Please leave a direct link for today’s post in comments to ensure others can find an easy way back to you. I’m heading over to the A2Z headquarters to see who’s joined the party now. I hope to see you again tomorrow for the next letter in the alphabet in my Looney Tunes Art Sketch series! X💋X💋 Cathy
