Saturday Morning Cartoon XXII: Odd Ducks

It’s Saturday! These are cartoons! It is not, however, morning. Two out of three ain’t bad though!

• FLCL continues and just gets stranger and stranger.

• Courage the Cowardly Dog. Why isn’t this how on DVD? WHY? This episode, entitled “The Tower of Doctor Zalost” is among the show’s best. The second short included in this particular show was entitled The Mask which is about a cat and a bunny who are lesbians. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it. Feel free to link to it in the comments if you come across it.

• Darkwing Duck in “Twin Beaks”. I loved this show when it was on. This particular episode is a brilliant spoof of, you guessed it, Twin Peaks and includes references such as a talking log, and a diner with excellent pie and “darn good coffee”. They manage to make it just as surreal as David Lynch’s murder mystery. Also, bonus Far Side joke!

• Ducktales: “Much Ado About Scrooge”. Scrooge and the boys go after the lost, cursed play of William Drakespeare. Ducktales and Darkwing Duck were set in the same world and characters like Launchpad and Gizmoduck featured prominently in both shows.

• Paranoia Agent: “Double Lips”. After being attacked by Lil’ Slugger, Yuichi’s name is cleared and he can finally relax. His tutor, Harumi Chono,unfortunately has other things to worry about. She has a second personality named Maria who spends her nights as a prostitute. Harumi has no control of herself during this time, nor can she recall what happened afterwards. After receiving a marriage proposal, Harumi decides to get rid of Maria, but can she? This one has some sex edited out of it so that YouTube wouldn’t take it down. Just an FYI.
