Whenever this intro right here started while you were enjoying cartoons, it foretold what follows is going to be a lovely cartoon when you realize the same studio did "What's Opera, Doc?" only a decade prior.

That era of Looney Tunes also introduced new forgettable characters like Cool Cat, the Poochie-est Poochie character ever created.

Doug sucked and would be an incel these days.

He'd totally be pining for Patty Mayonnaise 20 years later.

quote:

Doug's creator Jim Jinkins has FINALLY revealed whether Doug Funnie got together with his lifelong crush, Patti Mayonnaise.

The animator told EW that he's already written the scene revealing whether the pair became a couple - and, like so much of Doug's story, it's based on Jinkins's real life.

"It's my ten-year reunion, and I didn't go," Jinkins explained of the real-life events on which the scene's based. "And I got a phone call in New York and it's Patti. The real Patti. And my heart's beating fast."

The real Patti, who made it to the Doug reunion, had found out that Jinkins lived near her in New York and invited him over to her place that night for dinner.

"I'm like, what do I wear? What will she look like!? All that's happening as I'm walking across Central Park to her apartment, just wondering and just hoping, all those things. I was, at the time, very available.

"... She opens the door, and she's perfect. Just perfect. She just looks spectacular and she's so happy, and her arms fly up and we hug.

"She backs up and she goes 'Look, Jimmy! Boobs! I got my boobs!' 'Yeah, they always used to call me Flatty Patti, but look!' And she was just funny and fun and innocent, but it's like Doug and Patti together again, ten years later, right?"

And then, sadly, real-life Patti dropped a bombshell, telling Jinkins: "Oh Jimmy, I want you to meet my husband."

So there you go - Doug and Patti don't end up together because Patti cruelly went and got married.

"It doesn't happen because, really, most people don't end up with their first love," Jinkins added.

But we can't just leave you like that, so here's a silver lining: "Meanwhile, Doug has this friend of his, a girl, who he's always pouring his heart out to about how [Patti's] killing him," Jinkins went on.

"And naturally, I guess maybe it's a little predictable, but that's the one. That's the one he's comfortable enough to bear his soul to in his next phase of life, that he discovers he's in love with and didn't even know it. My guess is that it would be something like that."

For no particular reason, the other day I wound up thinking about "Homer's Triple Bypass," and how Lisa's immediate response to the situation is to research the condition and the surgery. Just struck me as a really nice character moment for her.

Looney Tunes were still being shown every Saturday morning on ABC up until 2000 when they became exclusive to Cartoon Network. This intro is burned into my brain, and I expect the My Buddy/Kid Sister commercial to follow it.

That baby kangaroo is something I completely memory holed. Didn’t it used to kick Sylvester’s rear end because he thought it was a big mouse?

So I watched an episode I’d never seen before where Lenny, Carl, Homer, and Moe pool their money together to play the lottery, and they end up winning $200,000 to be split four ways. Carl leaves during a big celebration to claim the money and ends up skipping town and taking the winnings with him to his original home in Iceland (he’s adopted) to clear his family’s thousand year old shame involving Vikings. When the other three guys realize Carl hosed them over and took their winnings, they follow him to Iceland to get the money back.

I gotta say, it was a very solid and straightforward episode. No bullshit wacky over-the-top foreign stereotypes. No jerkass or whiny Homer. Just a decent and nice episode about what friendship truly means while actually showcasing Iceland’s beauty instead of “LOL ICELAND IT’S NOT AMERICA SO IT’S WEIRD LMAO.”

I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. What do your neurologists say in terms of progression, etc?
