Cartoons are a construct of the white male patriarchy and will be confined to the memory hole due to wrongthink and facecrime.

Thank you for clearing that up. I completely missed it when I first watched the white clown climb out of the black inkbottle in black and white.

This was done by the same cartoonist, Max Fleischer, who did Betty Boop

I’m nearly 80 now and haven’t seen these favored cartoons (“Koko”, “Toonerville Trolley”, et al) since I was a young child — first in small town movie theaters (Pass Christian and Starkville, Mississippi, in late 1940s) and then at home on black-and-white television (very early 1950s in Falls Church, Virginia).
What a flash-back!!
The palette of Nostalgia encompasses all colors — sometimes the simplest black and white and sometimes the full spectrum of the rainbow.
(And none of my viewing of it was drug induced!)
“Thank You, Sir!” for this brief but oh so vivid return to my childhood.

Remember when kids could get into the theater on Sat for a can of soup?
Ticket price for kids under 12 was a quarter.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
