On the other hand, which Hanna-Barbera show theme(s) could you imagine playing on this toilet paper holder (if but for laughs)?

“Happy Days are Here Again”

Guaranteed Swiss Music Movement.

Another Banana Splits headcannon

Having watched, out of curiosity, a Danger Island segment from their original series with plenty of underwater scenes, Bingo imagines the idea of the quartet doing some diving themselves ... and wearing but themselves.

Just imagine this scenario as Peter Potamus prepares to make his Polynesian presence via kneelo paddleboard from The Magic Balloon:

As Peter Potamus prepares to hand charge of The Magic Balloon to So-So, his trusty simian companion, Peter can't help but show serious arousal between his legs as he changes from the trademark pith helmet and safari jacket to full-on nakedness ... which So-So, for some reason, can't help but find amusing--or is that "bemusing," as Snagglepuss would parse it?

Postcards from Snagglepuss

In the waters of Hawksbill Creek, by night

ALONG HAWKSBILL CREEK, LURAY, VA: Inspired by one of O. Winston Link's more famous nighttime photos showing steam power on the Norfolk and Western Railway in its twilight, our party decided to decamp, via the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive of Shenandoah National Park, to the town of Luray.

Though otherwise famous for the Caverns of Luray, one of the more legendary examples of show caves east of the Mississippi, our party of vagabonds decided to hie our motorhome down to South Hawksbill Street, along Hawksbill Creek even, facing southerly towards the bridges on Virginia Avenue (alias Business US 340) and the Norfolk Southern Railway (which was formerly the Norfolk and Western) over same ... which also fronts on the Luray Greenway, a bicycle and walking path.

And you have to wonder how many of the locals in that part of Luray took notice of who we were, or even the fact of our being vintage-type cartoon characters, during our presence to pay homage to O. Winston Link's photographic triumph ... but if there were any, boy, were they stunned! (But still, one needs to consider that the photograph faced south along Hawksbill Creek, and that the train was heading easterly towards Norfolk in the original.)

One modest little party of locals, though, were rather fascinated to the point of perhaps being willing to pose with our party--which, along with Huckleberry, the Bungle Brothers, Crazy Claws and yours truly, by now was bound to include The King and Sheena, themselves on a road trip after the Gatlinburg Cattanooga Cats Easter Parade.

"Heeeeeeeyyyyyy ... so what exactly are we up to here?" was how The King put it with the usual leonine-type swagger. To which Huckleberry Hound explained that we would be paying homage photographically to a certain famous photograph by O. Winston Link as was taken here in the summer of 1956.

"Only using a cameraphone," added I.

"And I take it we sort of plan to splash around in the creek, especially as a train passes by?" (By which time sunset was starting to become obvious and you could hear the horns of diesel locomotives approaching Luray a few miles out.)

"How did you guess as much?"

By which time we decided to get the selfie stick all ready--it was of the telescoping sort, to make matters even more interesting--and to get the pose all set up. Now, all that was needed was to ensure that a train would be passing at "just the right moment" to encapsulate O. Winston Link's spirit....

Though it may have taken several practice shots, Patience rewarded itself as "the blue hour" made itself known to Luray and the Page Valley, the banks of Hawksbill Creek, even ... not to mention a full moon on the rise as a manifest freight made its presence known, horn blaring distinctly, as if in salute....

And when we finally managed to get the photograph with all of us standing in Hawksbill Creek, we couldn't help but give silent thanks to O. Winston Link "himself" for the inspiration his photograph of the scene guided us.

Unlikely to be the case with Waverly Walrus, the Casanova of the Deep (as it were) and close buddy of Squiddly Diddly; his quarters are more than likely at some secluded rubbing beach near the Palos Verdes Peninsula, close to the former Marineland site.

Meanwhile, imagine The Banana Splits facing the Cattanooga Cats on Family Feud sometime!

Noone ever talks about the Teen Titans Go Family Feud episode. I thought it was really funny!

Pretty much a Hanna-Barberian Funtastic approach, especially in the summetime:

A few moments of fun with George and Joey, the Bungle Brothers

GEORGE BUNGLE, playing it straight: Uh, Joey--? JOEY BUNGLE, sheepishly playing the comic foil: Yes, George--? GEORGE BUNGLE: Would it surprise you to learn that "The Cheese Lifestyle" is not the name of some cheese shop in Wisconsin?! JOEY BUNGLE: Who said that it was, to begin with?

Angolo della poesia (that's Italian for "Poetry Corner")

We can just imagine Huckleberry Hound hosting quite an interesting gathering (and slightly on the intimate side, know) at some half-baked Italian restaurant, maybe a bit of the hole-in-the-wall sort, of many of his Funtastic cronies for a rather interesting dinner.

The rationale, shouldst thou ask? "Braccobaldo." Which is the Italian name for That Oh So Merry, Chuckleberry, Huckleberry Hound (as his theme song otherwise reminds us). The point not lost upon Huckleberry and Clementine, essentially hosts of the dinner as much as the eatery ultimately handling all.

Never mind that the dinner is largely minestrone, spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, breadsticks and garlic toast, blood orange or lemon soda (in the Italian manner, with fruit juices and the local acqua minerale) and, for dessert, zuppa inglese and espresso.

Never mind that while "zuppa inglese" may translate as "English soup," Huck explains that such is more of a rich custard cake. "Amusing," Clementine remarks, "how the Italians come up with amusing dessert names, like 'gelato' for the local ice cream--which sounds like 'gelatin,' but has a smoothness all its own."

Not quite lost for the translation, shall we say?

Following a rather fascinating dive session featuring Peter Potamus' nephew Patrick somewhere in Polynesia Uncharted (all the while naked as Nature intended):

A ROMANTICALLY-INCLINED POLYNESIAN GAL, rather stunned and fasinated: I couldn't help but notice while we were diving just now just how graceful you moved about in the water! PATRICK POTAMUS, whimsically modest in his own way: May I just say you moved about gracefully as well! ROMANTICALLY-INCLINED POLYNESIAN GAL: Out of curiosity, just how is it that your kind can actually dive like you do? PATRICK POTAMUS: It's just in our nature, I have to admit. Not to mention the inspiration of a rather interesting uncle like Peter Potamus; I assume you know about him.... ROMANTICALLY-INCLINED POLYNESIAN GAL: You mean THE Peter Potamus? PATRICK POTAMUS: Who else? [Whereupon the pair giggle the thing off and Patrick starts discovering how natural sexuality can be in the Polynesian manner with his dive mate]

So whom among the Funtastically-inclined could be imagined wearing (even in public appearances) pendants such as these on occasion:

Just picture this:

Knowing where Captain Caveman and Taffy happen to be rather close romantically (and, in a way, sexually), it'd be interesting to see how Taffy reacts sexually to The Slag Brothers (Rock and Gravel), who are likely cousins of Cavey.

And what sort of sex they'd likely extend to Taffy.

Now THIS will make for some interesting meatloaf from Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy:

Not only using one of those grease-trapping pans, but also topping said meatloaf with Daddie's Sauce rather than ketchup for an interesting flavour take.

Could you just imagine the Three Wolves (and, in a way, the Divin' Wolf Pups) in a houseboat such as this on some lake in northern Minnesota for a summer's diving vacation?

Or how about Honey and Sis being imagined pulling off some surprise shortwave worldcasts in much the same general locale, managing to be received wholesale in especially the Southern Hemisphere?

Dear Drooper:

What would your dream sleepover date be like with a fan chosen at random from the audience at one of your concerts?

You wouldn't be interested in knowing as much, at least for now.
