My all time favorite lines from a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon:

Narrator: The effects on Bullwinkle were negligible.

Bullwinkle: They didn't bother me much, either!



I often feel like I need to take a trip in the Wayback Machine...



RIP Mr. Anderson.

Well you learn something new everyday. I always thought Jay Ward was the creator.
Rocky and Bullwinkle-one of my all-time favorite cartoons. Proof that good writing can trump limited animation.
RIP Alex Anderson

Reminds me of a full-page ad I saw somewhere when Mel Blanc died--spotlight on a microphone, all the Warner Brothers characters Mel had voiced standing at attention, heads bowed, eyes closed....
