Getaway Car Followed by Moose

These episodes involve Boris as Baby Face Braunschweiger trying to get away with the money stolen from the bank. Bullwinkle is in hot pursuit on his bike because Rocky is in the hospital. Of course, things never go well for Boris. The extra features is yet another "Golden Goose" tale where anyone who touches a feather sticks to the goose. Dudley Do-Right is marrying Nell when Snidely objects and kidnaps the bride to be. It is a take on the old log in the sawmill bit.

Most people expect golden geese to lay . . .

. . . golden eggs, but this Fractured Fairy Tale about THE GOLDEN GOOSE shies away from such heavy cargo. In this picture, the silly goose is simply a means to an end, which bodes ill for the poor fellow tricked into cutting down the gooseberry tree. As Alex G. Bell once observed, "Not every Princess deserves a phone," and that's surely the case with the naughty Royal depicted here. She's out to wed a commoner, so she can brow-beat, patronize, belittle and harass him. This is why most Americans would not be caught dead near a castle. The danger of having bored princesses bamboozling working class guys into unholy wedlock is simply too great to run the risk of romping with Royals.

Probably the least savory morsel of . . .

. . . The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 39 is the bit called FAN CLUB #2. Nobody really wants to see cartoon characters pretending to celebrate themselves, especially in animated form. It's bad enough that so much attention was paid to the Mickey Mouse Club, doubtless inspiring Bullwinkle's Fan Club. However, the former featured future stars of tomorrow, while the latter comes off as a tawdry cheap imitation with no redeeming TV value. Until these so-called fan club misfires broke out, Bullwinkle's Corner was synonymous with fine literature, such as PETER PIPER and PAT-A-CAKE. They should have kept it that way.

As any "car guy" well knows . . .

. . .the Stearns-Knight Runabout was an actual Real Life American luxury car built in Cleveland, OH. However, though this vehicle is crucial to the plot of THE PICAYUNE POT, there is no such thing as a 1910 Stearns-Knight Runabout. F. B. Stearns founded his car company in Ohio in 1898. Some early Stearns models were armored, many had at least 17 coats of paint and most had steering wheels. These were in no way similar to the cheap tawdry rust buckets churned out in Dearborn, MI. Stearns teamed up with the Jeep company to manufacture the first Stearns Knight vehicle in 1911. Unlike the Dearborn-based weasels, Stearns never wrote the sort of crazed conspiracy cult books which inspired the National Socialists and World War Two. He never had a full-length portrait of himself hanging in the Fuhrer's office, and never collaborated to facilitate the atrocious Prussian Blitzkrieg. Stearns was an American Hero, not a U. S. traitor of the ilk driving around even Today in their Treason-Mobiles.
