Pussy Katnip
Gaze upon the horrific, accursed thing that is Pussy Katnip, and tremble in fear.
And what the hell is going on with these "doggy style" pals of hers?
I am unable to learn anything about the genius of "Len Short," her creator. If any WU-vie can help, please do not hesitate.
Original comic here.

Gumby on the Moon
I tend to forget--and perhaps a younger generation never knew--just how weird Gumby was, right from his first adventure, seen here.

POUND, by Downey Sr & Jr
The first clip shows Robert Downey Jr's first role in the year 1970, in a film by his father, Robert Downey Sr. As an example of late-60's weirdness-- Well, let's hear from Leanne Benson at IMDB:
I saw this film last night at the Barbican in London, apparently it hadn't been shown for thirty years, longer than I've been alive! We were warned at the beginning that it wasn't the easiest film to watch and with that in mind, I actually found it not too difficult to watch. All the characters were very different and I really like the idea of having people play the animals. It was pretty sad but also heartwarming in a way. I loved Robert Downey jr as the puppy, so cute!!!
I would say that the film was pretty bizarre and I'm not sure if I could watch it again for a while but for someone like me who is interested in they ways of past decades, I think it was a brilliant peek into the late sixties. There was one particular character, the old lady who played the dog with the mange problem who I thought was brilliant, amazing styling and directing. A film that should be available to be shown.

Follies of the Madmen #207
Cartoon characters from one of the most politically incorrect films of Hollywood history shill for Rambler. Is this why that company eventually went under?
