More Cartoon Quandries


What was Space Ghost's relationship to Jan and Jace? Did the masked twins ever have parents? Is Space Ghost some kind of creepy guardian uncle? Where did they find that minkey in space and why does it have to wear a mask? Who is Space Ghost? Is he literally a ghost? Are they supposed to be in the future? And if so, what is their relationship to the Galaxy Trio?

When did the Flintstones jump the shark? Was it when Peebles and Bamm Bamm came into the picture? Was Betty infertile (You'll recall Bamm Bamm was adopted.)? What's the deal with the Great Gazoo? They obviously ran out of ideas so they thought--why not have a little green man from outer space with voice of Harvey Korman advance the plot every week? And can't I get that dumb song "Let the Sunshine In" out of my head. (Not to be confused with the number from "Hair")

Why did Underdog in the guise of humble, lovable Shoeshine never wear pants? And where did Shoeshine live? He couldn't have afforded more than a studio apartment on what he made shining shoes. Maybe he couldn't afford pants. And where did the super-energy pills come from? Did he invent them? And if so, why not sell the patent, make a fortune and buy some damn pants for Christ's sake?
