Joe. Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 If it wasn't for him my childhood would have been sad and depressing. What great cartoons. RIP
Rincewind Posted 19 December 2006 Posted 19 December 2006 At least you will have lasting memories of a character being chopped into a thousand pieces then miraculously putting themselves together again. Unfortunately, like the rumours about Santa being real, this cannot happen to human beings. A fact a child has to learn on reaching adulthood. Anyway I always liked them as well.
