Ah, my old alma mater - Whatsamata U.... Loved R&B. A funny note - years ago our drummer's girlfriend sounded just like Rocky. She hated it when we teased her about it. :lol:

RIP Mr. Anderson.

I always loved the one where the bottom of Bullwinkle's foot had the words "Rue Brittania" :lol:

And this one seems rather up-to-date. I guess the more things change, the more they remain the same.

These cartoons were great when I was a kid, even better as an adult.

RIP Alexander Anderson, thanks for the entertainment!
