A Man Who Has Nothing In Particular To Recommend Him Discusses All Sorts of Subjects at Random as Though He Knew Everything

As Rodney Dangerfield says: “I’m afraid to go to the bathroom.” Anyway, we soldier on. Cartoons! I always preferred early Bugs. He was much more vicious. He even had more of a ferretty face back then.
