Elmer Fudd loses his gun in Looney Tunes Reboot

"The new episodes harken back to the Looney Tunes, which had their peak in the 1940s and 1950s heyday"


I have an almost pristine Life magazine from 1943, which I found among my father in law's belongings after he died. The adds are fantastic: men were men, women cooked and vacuumed, and 4 out of 5 doctors recommended Chesterfields.

There is this one feel-good article about a hunting club, and how the members of this club were doing their part to support the war effort. Instead of using bullets and guns, they were using baseball bats, 2x4's, and ax handles to beat prey to death. The article had pictures of all of these fellows next to the beaten prey, proudly holding their bloodied bats and ax handles.

The point: Times change.
