A lot of those 60's cartoons were quite subversive. The Simon Bar Sinister character in Underdog being one of them. Watch re-runs of Rocky and Bullwinkle and you'll drop your teeth at the innuendoes and frankly sexual tones set by the dialogue, all the while being perfectly entertaining for the littluns. Today's cartoons are a pale ghost of what we have had in the past.
