Hey kids (of all ages), it's Saturday Morning Cartoon time again! Continuing the 2020 New Year... Still no Saturday Morning TV cartoons from a century ago, but here's one from half that.
Yes, the 1960s were famous for the hippies and their love of mind-altering substances. And the trend didn't exactly come to a screeching halt at the start of the new decade! This is a cartoon that definitely was made with herbal aid, and kinda' needs the same to be watched.
Rankin/Bass was best known for their animated Christmas specials, but also did over a dozen TV series between 1960 and the late 1980s. This one featured elements from the works of 19th Century English madman and poet Edward Lear with a smattering of Lewis Carroll and Ogden Nash. Seriously... This is what NBC put up against SABRINA AND THE GROOVY GOOLIES and LANCELOT LINK, SECRET CHIMP! No wonder nobody even remembers it!
But obscurities are my thing, she here is the first episode of THE TOMFOOLERY SHOW from 1970.
