Good morning. 😎✌️🍵
21 August 2026
My fingers need to get a tappin’, because it’s a walk day and I want to git‑er‑done before it warms up too much. Truth be told, I might end up doing the walk before I finish my morning rant — priorities and all that.
If only I could think. As Quick Draw would often say, “I’ll do the thinnin’ around here, Baba Louie.” And this morning, my brain seems perfectly happy to let him.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it hilarious that Underdog’s girlfriend’s name is Sweet Polly Purebred? I mentioned it to my wife, who didn’t find it nearly as funny as I do. But as an adult, the name hits different. The writers slipped in satire that kids would never catch — a little jab at pedigree, genetics, and social class wrapped in a Saturday‑morning cartoon. Genius, really.
Another name that comes to mind is Pepé Le Pew, who had an ongoing crush on Penelope Pussycat — the black cat who always seemed to end

Genius, really.
Another name that comes to mind is Pepé Le Pew, who had an ongoing crush on Penelope Pussycat — the black cat who always seemed to end up with a white streak of paint down her back, making her resemble a female skunk in Pepé’s eyes. For some reason he insisted on calling her Fifi, one of his many over-the-top French pet names. Meanwhile, Penelope spent every episode trying to escape his romantic advances.
And then there’s Dick Dastardly’s dog, Muttley. He’s a favorite of mine because his sly little snicker reminds me of the look Charlie gives me when we’re playing catch and he decides it’s time for keep‑away instead. I’ll reach down to grab his toy, and he gives me that mischievous side‑eye before pulling it away — pure Muttley energy.
