It's So Hanna-Barberaesque

SQUIDDLY DIDDLY, rather excitably: I have to admit that "Fluid Man" is a rather apt description of a diver like yourself, not to mention rather interesting … FLUID MAN: How else could it be when you're clad, by and large, in a green one-piece frogskin wetsuit, wearing a diver's mask, and fond of breathhold diving to the point of feeling a rather crazy sensation between your legs from time to time, perchance attracting the attention of dolphins and mermaids most lovesick? SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: You make the point rather well … [pause] You have a particular dive spot you enjoy all the more? FLUID MAN: You mean like, Catalina Island? SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: I was thinking along those lines myself, come to think of it--and you thought Bubbleland was a rather weird place already! FLUID MAN: How did you guess exactly? SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: I'm a rather curious diver type myself. My schtick is underwater photography especially. FLUID MAN, stunningly: You the one behind that Squiddly's Underwater Annual that I've heard so much of? SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: One and the same … FLUID MAN, surprised: I have to admit where your annuals are rather fascinating in and of themselves … especially the photography and the rather fascinating tales to be had! SQUIDDLY DIDDLY: Well put there, Fluid Man! Besides, don't I do an impressive job? [Whereupon the two laugh it off over beer and popcorn]

Imagine the chaos likely to be wrought if Elroy Jetson brings in Orbitty, the family ur-housepet, for another Show-and-Tell session, whereby Orbitty causes nothing but havoc.

It's the heighth of the bear mating season ... the Hair Bear Bunch are camping beside some northern Minnesota lake not unlike this one ... and can't wait to go into their post-orgy sunrise dive, with a few of their choicest mates from the evening previous joining Hair, Square and Bubi for a pre-breakfast breath hold dive to the lake bottom, and all the wonder such can entail....

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?!
