Yeah, my bad apparently.

Yeah, my bad apparently. I haven't seen this in years, so nostalgia might have clouded my recollection.

The only thing I remember from it was the adults leaving their kid in a bar for Christmas so they could make it snow. And the bartender dressed up as Santa. And drunks ripped off his beard. I forgot all of the schmaltziness.

I liked the show because of the Sky Pirates. I really don't understand how the furry community can latch onto it. The only regular female who appeared on it was Becky, and she sounded like she was voiced by Sally Struthers. If someone can jack off while thinking about morbidly obese television stars and starving children, they're a better man than I.

I probably shouldn't have been reading Boom! comics right before making this recommendation either, because those books are a lot better than the cartoons ever were.

On the plus side, I always wanted to ruin Christmas. I got to see tons of other people doing it, but this is my first time and it feels good.

That's because she was!

I noticed one of the guys questioned like Louie talked like that in this show. That was because his original voice in "The Jungle Book " (which came out in 1967 by the way), was done by musical artist Louis Prima, who had a distinctive voice for his time. For the TV series I think Jim Cummings tried to approximate that as best as he could but it didn't quite work at all.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks for the confirmation. If anybody actually did become a furry because of this show, I think we just discovered the information that would lead to a cure.

Thanks! In penance, I'm going to try and watch a season of this show to either remind myself of why I liked it or to ruin its memory forever.

The No-Pants Thing

While I noticed the subject took up a good part of the podcast itself, it was a question many Tale Spin fans have had for years too. Someone who co-created the darn thing, Jymn Magon, had this to say about it...

"It's just a Disney/animation invention. If a character has thin legs (like Mickey or Goofy or Rebecca) then we put pants on 'em so they don't look naked. If, however, a character has big hips & no legs (Baloo) or a huge but (Donald), then we leave pants off. (It would look silly otherwise.) The funny part is we tend to accept these conventions without thinking. So when Baloo hangs out his laundry to dry, you'll always find a pair of boxer shorts with hearts on 'em.... even though he never wears pants!

We weren't intentionally trying to stay true to Jungle Book. That wasn't the goal."

And yet we get moments like this where it's hard accepting the fact nobody is disturbed to see a stripped Baloo just casually saving the day in his usual manner like it was nothing.

There was an episode of

There was an episode of Darkwing Duck where Negaduck is dressing up like Darkwing, and you literally see him take off the shirt and jacket, witness a pair of underwear magically appear to show he is naked, and then magically disappear the second he has a new jacket on.

A "Jolly Molly Christmas" sounds like something one would purchase in a shoddy bathroom stall at a Texaco gas station, by the way.

Let Zuey eat pizza on the show

I had heard that Jim Cummings' imitation of Louis Prima was so good that Prima's widow sued Disney for unauthorized use of Prima's voice and persona. Since then, Cummings has had to alter the way he does the voice.

By the way Cape (Crepe) Suzette is one of the best puns ever.

Speaking of Air Pirates...

There was another set of "Air Pirates" that to take on a big corporation and fought good in their 2-issue underground classic of the same name!
