Who Do You Think You're Kidding, Humphrey?

Humphrey the Bear is one of my favorite cartoons...evah! The song from "In The Bag" is one of those songs that never strays far from my conscious, uh, mind.

Of course, I found it on YouTube. It's also available on the Disney Treasures DVD, Disney Rarities. Which comes in a collector's tin. Which I think is fantastic.

Enjoy.

That is a great cartoon. Definitely better than your average Disney cartoon shorts from back then, which are often surprisingly lousy... not the animation so much as the unimaginative writing.

Speaking of cartoons, I bought a couple of those cheapo, paper sleeve, ninety-nine-cent public domain cartoon DVD's recently, one with Casper on the cover and another with Mighty Mouse (but they both have a variety of cartoons on them). Some good Warner Brothers stuff, but the Mighty Mouse one has exactly ONE MM cartoon, a really old one where MM doesn't even look like the MM we know from the 60's TV show (whose likeness is used on the cover). The Casper disc has a lot of memorable cartoons, but better yet has a bunch of other cartoons with unbelievably racist caricatures. Now those need to go on YouTube...

And speaking of YouTube, I need to get a video card so I can put shit up there. I'd like to put up the outtakes I have (on an old blooper tape) of Jimmy McNichol and Marc "Jimmy Olson" McClure from 1979's California Fever. They're so stoned they can barely say their lines. Joey Ramone would laugh at them. It gives a neat little insight to what every show back then must have been like behind the scenes.

What you NEED is to move up from Dial-Up -- Christ, it'll take you a week to upload a video!

Hey, it only took me an hour to watch "Frank and the Steins." Besides, why would I pay good cash money to watch video on the computer when I have a continuous live streaming feed from that box in my living room?
