Maybe we're a bunch of old fogies, or maybe we've had one too many anvils dropped on our heads, but today's Saturday morning entertainment can't compare to the golden age of cartoons (http://www.goldenagecartoons.com/). As this site illustrates, back in the day, the funnies were actually funny. You had Bugs Bunny (http://toolooney.goldenagecartoons.com/bugs.htm), Felix the Cat (http://felix.goldenagecartoons.com/), and everyone's favorite instigator, Woody Woodpecker (http://lantz.goldenagecartoons.com/profiles/woody/) -- each teaching kids how to make trouble, and hopefully, get away with it. Of course, these creations didn't just fall out of the sky like an Acme safe. Read up on mischievous men like Walter Lantz (http://lantz.goldenagecartoons.com/) and Bill Nolan (http://columbia.goldenagecartoons.com/gems/) who imagined and realized many of these iconic animals. And for a real trip down memory lane, check out these classic comic strips (http://funnies.goldenagecartoons.com/) starring the likes of Tom & Jerry (http://funnies.goldenagecartoons.com/stories/mgm/tj6801.html) and Porky Pig (http://funnies.goldenagecartoons.com/stories/wb/lt180601.html). Hey, Porky, put some pants on! (in Comics & Animation (http://picks.yahoo.com/picks/Entertainment/Comics_and_Animation/))
