Demonic Mice



One of the things about The Simpsons that I've always found unsettling is the hyper-violent Itchy and Scratchy Show, which is Bart's favorite cartoon. It was only recently that I found that this is a parody of an old cartoon series, Tom and Jerry, that also was bizarre in its level of violence:



And who doesn't remember the East German classic of the cat/mouse genre, "Worker and Parasite?"

During our earliest years, creativity often evolves from the most unsuspected sources and one had to be inventively spontaneous to thrive in a neighborhood of 19 boys and 5 girls - We had our moments, not unlike Tom and (New Christine) Jerry.

Thanks for the clips, they bring back fond memories of all 24 of us in the balcony's front rows at the State Theatre in Hibbing Minnesota!!!

None of them, of course, could compare to the classic Warner Bros. cartoons. We'd sit, half-asleep through Disney 'toons, MGM 'toons, and especially the loathed Hanna-Barbera 'toons, just to get to the Warner Bros. stuff: "What's Opera, Doc," "One Froggy Evening," "Duck Dodgers," etc. Tom and Jerry? You can have 'em.

Pest control is not demonic, it’s sanitary…plus totally justified when it comes to odious rodents of the super vexing variety.
