As you know I’m a great believer in scheduling and daily anchor posts to drive traffic and produce dependable content for our readers as well as providing a framework for more topical and thus irregular features.

One manifestation of that is Cartnoon (yeah, I’m kind of behind on the tagging).  Up until now I’ve concentrated on the productions of Warner Brothers with the intention of creating a 365 day library we can continue to use in the future and there is certainly enough catalog to achieve that goal.

On the other hand, you might be just a little bit uhh… over exposed to Bugs, Daffy, and the rest of the gang and TheMomCat has discovered a collection of Crusader Rabbit which was her favorite.

It has the distinction of being the first cartoon created especially for TV and is from Jay Ward of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame.  June Foray, the voice of Rocky, frequently worked with Mel Blanc (the voice of, well everybody) as characters like Witch Hazel and Granny.

Anyway I’m going to explore how deep the Crusader archive goes for the next little bit and I want you to feel free to express your ideas about improvements and other characters (Felix the Cat, Betty Boop, etc.) that we can include.

One thought I have is going to a daily different character format.  While there are 52 weeks a year, there are only 13 episodes a quarter so your favorite need not have a particularly deep representation, though I have a prejudice for completeness.  In conjunction with this I am trying to keep a database though I’ve lost access to it temporarily (long story I’ll get to later).

Anyway, hope you enjoy today’s offering.

I don’t think it’s the job of sites like this one to tell you how to vote, or even that you should.  This is simply a reminder that like many I will be headed to the polls to register my sentiments with my elected “Representatives” most of whom I hope will be unemployed by tomorrow.

Duck Dodgers Season 2 started off with a marathon on August 14, 2004.  The YouTube record of this and Season 3 might be somewhat sketchier than Season 1, but I’ll see what I can find.
