Ok this is my point. Some cartoon characters are not getting enough credit for breaking boundaries and tackling controversial subjects. Here are a few notable examples…

Roger Rabbit – In the film “Who framed Roger Rabbit”, Roger Rabbit, has the annoying task of disposing of a bunch of weasels, irritating I know but the way he tackles this is pretty clever. Rogers not dumb, he doesn’t want to face a murder trial by unlawfully killing weasels and getting slammed in cartoon prison, he’s got better ideas. His genius solution is to make them laugh to death which quite frankly is amazing! Now by law I don’t think this rabbit can be banged up for being funny. Have you ever seen a police officer give out warnings for people being dangerously funny? Also how do you prove that he intended to kill the weasels with laughter? I’m no lawyer but I’d say no you can’t, case closed.

Effectively its a new form of killing and could revolutionise the art of murder. Before you know it budding serial killers will be taking classes on how to be funny, practising their stand up routines and attempting to kill people by telling jokes until their victims drop dead. So beware if someone is telling you numerous, non-stop, back to back jokes as they could well be a serial killer. Their weapon of choice is laughter!!

Top Cat – The first time a cartoon has tackled the harsh reality of a pimp surviving on the mean streets of New York. If you look at Top Cat he blatantly wasn’t a mischievous little cat, he was a pimp! A smartly dressed cat, scamming his friends out of money and if given half the chance he would pimp out your pussy in a flash. I’d like to see the footage they didn’t show you. The beatings, the corruption, and the sleaze as the filthy world of Top Cat the pimp is exposed. Fear the Top Cat!

Ren and Stimpy – Here is the first gay cartoon couple! Even though the two never came out to admit this obvious fact, the evidence is clear. The two share a bed; they live together as partners and at one point even discuss a wedding. In one episode they adopt a child like many modern gay couples do. Unfortunately it turns out being flatulence…oh dear.

It’s not exactly Elton John and David Furnish but Ren and Stimpy were the first gay cartoon couple. It challenges the norm of cartoon couples and shows that not all gays are well groomed, metro-males. Gritty gayness my friend.
