Wow. How edgy.
Last year, DC Comics began releasing a series of comic books re-imagining several Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters and updating them for the modern era. DC has reimagined such TV cartoons as The Flintstones and Scooby Doo, and now the comic book giant is taking aim at Snagglepuss for a new series that will turn the character into a “gay, southern gothic playwright.”
Snagglepus was a giant, pink, anthropomorphic cat introduced in 1959 that hit kids’ cartoons years before the Pink Panther debuted (1963). But Snagglepuss was far more chatty than his pink cousin, sporting catch phrases such as “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” “Exit, stage left,” and “Heavens to Betsy.”
Few noticed anything strange about Snagglepuss when he appeared on such Hanna-Barbera cartoons as The Yogi Bear Show and The Quick Draw McGraw Show, but years later, gay activists decided that the character’s flamboyant and theatrical tendencies meant he was secretly gay.
It is the latter impression of Snagglepuss that DC Comics is to focus on for its new Snagglepuss comic book.
Fag agenda marches on.
Snagglepuss WASN’T gay? Coulda fooled me.
May this new Snagglepuss suffer NO sales, and may DC go bankrupt.
Well, screw DC. Like any normal person needs to be told that Snagglepuss was a “little light in the loafers.” Sheesh.
Inquiring minds want to know: Will they be changing their name to AC/DC Comics?
Heavens to murgatroyd! Disgusting even! It seems like male cartoon characters aren’t allowed to be sensitive without being homosexual. That’s terrible. (And sexist.)
Snagglepuss is my favorite HB character. I am really upset about this. (And will be letting dc vomit know.)
Exit stage left.
Thuffering Thuccotath.
I still can’t believe they tried to turn Mr. Clean straight.
I want to see Yosemite Imam chasing down the infidel Bugs Bunny.
Grab ’em by the snagglepuss!
Twin, maybe Elmer Fascist can go hunting for Dhimmi Duck.
Pfft. Snagglepuss. What a flaming queen.
So what’s Secret Squirrels real secret? Gimme a friggin break, they’re cartoon characters for crying out loud. And Yogi bear and Booboo, hey if Ernie and Bert are supposedly gay why not Yogi and booboo. Stop killing my childhood, what’s next Clark Kent was really a tranny when he went into a phone booth to change into Superman.
