It's So Hanna-Barberaesque

RAQUEL WRENCH, rather stunned in her own way: Sheena, honestly now: Breathes there a more fascinating sort of experience than diving … just sensing the sheer sort of fascination over that which goes on underwater, the sheer sensation of weightlessness just gliding over the bottom of some lake or lagoon? SHEENA THE LIONESS, surprised: I should say so, after all the experiences we have together underwater! RAQUEL WRENCH: And to think it all started during a movie shoot! SHEENA THE LIONESS: And unexpectedly, as I remember it!

BINGO, somewhat wistfully: So what exactly is keeping Fleegle at this time? SNORKY: [Blatant honking, interpreted by Droper as "Even Snorky seems to feel much the same way!"] [A few moments later--] FLEEGLE, in his exuberance: FELLOW SPLITS, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU! I am pleased to introduce to you my new girlfriend--DAGMAR! [Who, it turns out, is a somewhat reechy-looking, borderline mangy as well, female beagle, the sheer look of which attracts guffaws from Bingo, Drooper and Snorky] DAGMAR, sounding somewhat butch to the point of campy: Hellllooooo, boys!! Glad to be seeing all of you … not to mention where Fleegle and I are bound to be great friends! [Further guffaws]

Jabberjaw, perhaps?

WALLY GATOR, being his Ed Wynn-inspired self: So be honest about it … how does my take on the old key lime pie taste? MOI, after reasonable time to get in the bite: A bit on the tart side, I must admit, but rather creamy and delectable in its own way. WALLY GATOR: No doubt what this alligator, proud Floridian as he is, likes hearing! And especially when he's made such an exceptional pie as that! MOI, being a bit humble at the thought: Thanks … and the espresso is rather tasty. Great complement to the pie! WALLY GATOR: Glad you agree! And no doubt proud to make such exceptional key lime pie to begin with, don't you know?!

[Mise en scene: Some lake in northern Minnesota, which sees the self-appointed "ze good wolf" and his well-meaning nephew as part of a diving excursion with Hokey Wolf and Mildew Wolf. As our vignette opens, we find Loopy and Bon-Bon sitting on a somewhat modest beach by their campsite for a sort of after-the-dive talk.] BON-BON, Loopy's nephew, ever the excitably cheeky one: Geez, Uncle Loopy, wasn't that last dive rather wonderful? LOOPY De LOOP, in that unmistakably French-Canadian accent of his exuding charm as much as confidence: Bon-Bon, mon petit little maple tart, isn't diving just so delightfully fascinating, especially when you're an ur-sea wolf in such company as Hokey and Mildew, so fascinating as we are underwater? And just wearing our lupine selves, to boot?! BON-BON: Especially as we were approaching the lake bottom in such fascinating coolness, the bubbles just tickling away at that wonderful spot between our legs, and how delightful it felt all in all? LOOPY De LOOP, excitably: My little Bon-Bon … doesn't it seem wonderful to feel so aroused underwater like we were, and not feel ashamed about it? [pause] Which, after all, is bound to happen when we're diving; such a feeling of sheer happiness to be felt in a rather fascinating manner like your young penis being aroused so delightfully--think of it as Nature's way of showing happiness most delightfully! BON-BON: Isn't it most fascinating to have an uncle like you, Uncle Loopy? [Whereupon Loopy "himself" pats his Bon-Bon on the head to express approval of such sentiment.]

--Crazy Claws

Forget The Mystery Machine, hackneyed as it seems: What other Hanna-Barberian vehicles could you imagine in this nighttime scenario?

As in the Hair Bear Bunch crossing mating season road trip paths with no less than that diving duet of Sheena the Lioness and Raquel Wrench, as turned out to be "in the neighbourhood," essentially. And shares much in the way of diving and romantic adventures, with Sheena and Raquel stunned at how well the madcap ursine trio could dive themselves.
