Forget old school cartoons from several decades ago. Something like the more recent “The Looney Tunes Show”, which was on the air 2011-2014, would never be allowed today. There’s an episode where Daffy joins the Marines (initially thinking it has something to do with sea life) that ends with him freeing Bugs from an Albanian prison in a raid where he uses an automatic rifle and grenades along with the rest of his squad. Can you imagine them portraying the US military in a positive way today? The new Looney Tunes on HBO won’t even let Elmer Fudd have his shotgun!

It's important to impart the legacy of old school cartoons as well as American History to our tiny pedes.
