When I was little, I used to watch horrible cartoons. I liked Mr. Peabody, Commander McBragg, Snaggle Puss, Dastardly and Muttley, Beanie and Cecil, The Flintstones and The Jetsons. You can catch most of them on YouTube today...if you really want to. The animation was pathetic and the puns were even worse. There was one cartoon with a turtle; I can’t remember its name. The turtle had a serious wanderlust, and he’d go to a wizard to be sent on one magical journey after another. Inevitably the dim-witted turtle got himself into a terrible predicament and shout, “Help me, Mr. Wizard!” The wizard would bring him back saying, “Twizzle, twazzle, twuzzle twome. Time for this one to come home.” Yes, it’s lame. But it rhymes. I could use a spell like that today. It would be much faster and simpler than two long airplane flights and a taxi ride. Not to mention cheaper.
