Screw those philosophical plants in my last post! Depressing bastards. This one is purely for me. My favourite cartoon when i was growing up was the Pink Panther, particularly the DePatie/Freleng golden era. I call it golden, to most it may have appeared yellow or even light brown. I watch those cartoons now and I am reminded of the smell of toast with melted butter. YeAH. Most people I speak to remember the Pink Panther (of course) but forget the extra cartoons they made that ended up filling the ’Pink Panther Show’ (which was an excuse to re-run previous Panther cartoons) including the Tijuana Toads and Crazylegs Crane. My favourite additional cartoon was The Ant and the Aardvark. I love it all, from the backgrounds down to the zoidberg-ian voice of the Aardvark…

The last remake of PP which I was excited about back in 1993 had him talking (with the voice of Max Headroom, no less) and I remember being deeply dissapointed about it, but this is reviving The Ant and the Aardvark! Once again people will know what the hell I’m talking about!! Yeah! Go me!

Americans must tell me how it goes, as it premieres today (sun 7th) on cartoon network 
I’m taking this one as a personal win.
