2. Every night before I go to bed...
I get down on my knees and thank god for his holy messengers who are out there protecting me from sexually deviant cartoon characters I wouldn't even know existed if it weren't for their filth...um...astute minds discerning these technicolor, albeit fictional beings for the evil minions of satan they are and protecting me from them. Thank you Lord Jesus!

3. Those good folks have been at it for more than 50 years now!
During the McCarthy era, the so-called Religious Right attacked D.C. Comics over its Batman series. Why? Well, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Alfred the butler were three men all living together with no women in the house. So they were obviously homosexuals!

Same shit, different assholes. :puke:

Robin, The Boy Wonder.

Ok, I'm kidding, but I did hear that the Batman series had a large gay following...

5. Then There's THIS
Snagglepuss Outed On National Television

By Christian Bladt




Amazingly, there are people who were surprised at the news.

STUDIO CITY, CA – - Cartoon fans all over the world were shocked by the revelation that one of Hanna-Barbera’s most beloved superstars is a homosexual. Snagglepuss, known for a years as a contemporary of Yogi Bear, Magilla Gorilla and Wally Gator, has been living a lie for the past half-century.

The interesting thing about the revelation is that it was purely accidental. Snagglepuss’s contemporary Huckleberry Hound was on an episode of “Inside The Actors Studio” when host James Lipton asked him what his favorite day of the year was. Hound, who later explained his hearing aid batteries had worn down, interpreted the question as “What his favorite gay or queer was”. His response was “Well, I’ll be darned if’n Snagglepuss ain’t the only queer I know in the funny-paper business”. The studio audience was stunned and taping had to be halted.

Out Magazine issued a statement applauding the move by Hound, saying that “While we disagree with the terminology used by Mr. Hound, if he hadn’t said anything about this, Snagglepuss most likely would have gone to his grave never truly admitting who he was. At least now, he can be comfortable in his own skin”.

The cartoon community itself has had surprisingly little to say about the matter. However, Boo Boo, lifelong sidekick to Yogi bear was willing to talk to reporters. “I don’t see what all the fuss was about. If you ever heard him talk, you would know he went that way. Even if you hadn’t been tipped off by the fact that he’s bright pink and his name is ‘Snagglepuss’, his mannerisms and speech patterns don’t sound very masculine to me. My pal Yogi – now HE is a man’s man.” Boo Boo then had to run off and stop Yogi from stealing all the picnic baskets in Jellystone Park before its dark.
