Ric fever has gotten so bad I'm now spotting cartoon characters with them! Not sure if anyone else noticed on Sunday's episode of the Simpsons but the Simpson family was shown playing as a band on a Poseidon-esque cruise liner and Bart was playing a Ric bass. Not only that, but he was playing it lefty. Will wonders ever cease?

Don't forget the left-handed bass playing Oompa Loompa in the the latest Willy Wonka film with Johnny Depp. I think he had a Ric ...??

Cartoon characters are always left handed (I believe), or if not everyone that I have seen is.

Didn't Rudy, from the Fat Albert Show play a Ric too?
It had a big "R" on the bridge.

But then again (a quote from
www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk) ...
A lot of cartoon characters have been drawn as being left-handed. Bart Simpson and Homer (sometimes) are among them. Keep a lookout and let us know of any others you see and we will try to get pictures to put on the web site.
