Postage Cuties

Seems like the mail is taking forever lately, so this posting goes out to Doug who is waiting on my b-day card... if I was as cute as this adorably illustrated little mousie, perhaps the card would of gotten to SoCal sooner!!! xxxo

Cutie on the Mayflower

Rankin-Bass' animated classic Mouse on the Mayflower first aired Saturday, Nov. 23, 1968, introducing this cutie to viewers. 41 years later, he's still a cutie!

Cute Harvest

Thanksgiving (or as I like to call it "Thanksvegan") is two weeks away! These cuties are getting ready-gathering up pumpkins, apples, pears and other autumn goodies with the help of their adorable animal friends. A good reminder to start writing out my grocery shopping list for the big day.

Cartoon Cuties

Tom & Jerry, the classic cat & mouse duo appeared in 114 theatrical MGM cartoons from 1940 to 1957, the first batch from Fred Quimby, followed by 18 produced by Hanna and Barbera. 13 shorts by Gene Deitch appeared in 1960. Warner Bros. veteran Chuck Jones revived the series in 1963 with 34 new shorts. In 1975, the guys returned via Hanna-Barbera for an all-new ABC Saturday morning series. CBS ran a Filmation version from 1980-82. Later FOX broadcast Tom & Jerry Kids in the 90s and finally Tom & Jerry Tales was a CW series up until last year. After almost 70 years, these cuties just keep the chase going.

Pixie + Dixie = Cutie

Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks was a segment of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The Huckleberry Hound Show from 1958 to 1962. It starred two cute mice, Pixie and Dixie, and a goofy (but kinda cute) cat named 'Mr. Jinks". The premise was basically Tom & Jerry times two. The series is most remembered for Mr. Jinks' trademark lament, "I hate those meeces to pieces!".
