Thanks!
I don't I've ever seen Flip the Frog -- another cartooning essential. There's some classic stereotyping that cartoonists haven't been able to get away with for quite a while. The whole cartooning style of that era does seem to be drug-influenced. Or at least it influenced the drug-influenced cartooning culture of the 1960s.

Not a children's cartoon.
