Cartoon Corner= Babbit And Catstello

Back in earlier times, there was rarely any dirty comedy. You could see any comedian and not have to worry about rude humor. One great pair during those days was Abbot and Costello. They were two comedians who relied on fast talking and pronoun problems to get laughs. Naturally, to get more publicity, two cartoon stars were invented to get people to see the comedic duo. Those two's names are Babbit and Catstello, two cats molded to resemble the humorists. In their first debut, Babbit and his buddy attempted to capture a small bird, who vaguely resembles Tweety Bird. Babbit was the cunning boss, while Catstello was a bumbling grunt. Their attempts to capture the bird is foiled, and they go hungry. In their next appearance, the two were changed from cats to mice. It really made no difference, the duo were as funny as ever. Gradually the two's fame depleted and, like all stars, people left them for new things. In the modern society of cartoons, Babbit and Catstello hold a special place in our hearts, much like their human counterparts. I enjoy them, and anyone who watches their cartoons will too. They're clever, funny, and involved in censorship. In their first episode Babbit goes, "Give me the bird! Give me the bird." Catstello replies, "If it wasn't for the Hays Office, I'd give him the bird." (Hays Office was the censorship company at that time.) In order to respect the comedians they were based on, I've decided to put an Abbot and Costello sketch on this post. If you wish to view the cartoon, check out Youtube.
