I just LOVE this cat~

Also here's a fight between the Cattanooga Cats and the Banana Splits.

After the fight, Shag Rugg finds the splits in bad condition.

AUTOCAT, trying not to sound all too frustrated: Sheesh ... somehow, it seems you need to distract yourself from a certain mechanically-minded mouse big time, and boneless chicken tenders seem so easy such.

[Meanwhile, in walks in--]

LIPPY THE LION, optimistically bombastic: Did someone just mention the notion of chicken tenders as a distraction from the cares of everyday?

AUTOCAT, getting philosophical a la Dobie Gillis: Whoever said it had to be, to begin with?

LIPPY THE LION: I should apologise for the misconstrual or misunderstanding so ensuing. But at any rate, I thought I'd get me some chicken tenders for comfort tonight as much as supper.

AUTOCAT: I won't stop you in any respect.

SUPER SNOOPER, who could be forgiven for carrying a travel mug of coffee in his trenchcoat, let alone Tide To Go in case coffee stains ensue: Leave us face it, Blab--just how many places are there still where you can still get a decent cup of joe for 5 cents?

BLABBERMOUSE, likewise as above: Geez, Snoop ... but then again, I have to admit Wall Drug is a rather interesting place until--

[It turns out that you have a long queue of fellow Hanna-Barbera Funtastics with travel mugs themselves awaiting their turn to fill their mugs on Wall Drug's 5-cent coffee "for the road ahead," and for some reason, Snooper and Blabber happen to be behind--]

AUTOCAT, trying to hold back the perennial frustration at not catching Motormouse: I assume you're waiting for the coffee to fill the travel mugs ...

SUPER SNOOPER: I take it you happen to be rather astute in your observation, Autocat ... looks like the queue's starting to move ... and to make things more interesting--

AUTOCAT, ever patiently observant: Go ahead, I won't hold much of anything back....

SUPER SNOOPER: We also plans to get some donuts for the road as well. I understand Wall Drug serves some especially tasty donuts as are slightly on the addicting side!

CHOO-CHOO, from Top Cat's crew, pretty much behind Super Snooper: If it happens to be addicting, it's fine by me--and, for the most part, the rest of us, wouldn't you say so, TC?

TOP CAT: And you wonder how it's possible to fit a travel mug in my weskit pocket without causing spills....

[Meanwhile--]

A WALL DRUG SERVER: I do apologise for our running out of coffee just now, but we happen to have more coming shortly ... and just a reminder that it's still 5 cents, even with a travel mug!

TOP CAT, slightly frustrated at the news: NOW they tell us!

A WALL DRUG SERVER: Hopefully, you won't forget to buy a baker's dozen or so of our donuts "for the road," just as much as our coffee!

SUPER SNOOPER: I just hope the wait for some of that fresh-brewed and good-tasting Wall Drug coffee isn't too long, Blab ...

BENNY THE BALL, ever energetic but trying to temper things: Isn't it rather interesting, TC, to be in such an interesting place as Wall Drug, with coffee still 5 cents a cup and legendary donuts that certainly beat Dunkin's!

TOP CAT: Not a bad observation, Benny, but I believe the line for coffee is still moving forward... [Which turns out being the case. Meanwhile, in The Alley Behind Wall Drug, with a muffled roar of T. Rex inherent in the bargain--]

WHIMPER, somewhat hesitant: I've heard so much about those Wall Drug donuts being somewhat addictive, Woofer ... yet shouldn't such make you concerned?

WOOFER, putting things somewhat straight: Whimper, if you're thinking in the context of addiction by way of adding stuff like opium, after the fashion of certain dodgy Chinese restaurants a few years back to keep the business steady--hardly is this the case! Now, on the other hand, sugar cravings can be addicting ... yet can be kept under control in their own way!

WHIMPER: You mean--

WOOFER: If you mean limiting too much of a good thing, like sugar, yes, it's possible!

WHIMPER: But isn't coffee a little addicting as well, what with the caffeine?

WOOFER: Son, you must've fallen for too many tabloid stories of a highly disreputable sort ... you can't always believe everything you read! In fact, son, there's been a long running rumour about the coffee served at Tim Horton's, a Canadian donut shop chain, being addictive because of certain secret ingredients supposedly added prior to roasting!

WHIMPER: Is it really that true?

WOOFER, trying to sound stereotypically Canadian: No way, eh. Not even in Newfoundland--or, for that matter, Saskatchewan even, to borrow from a certain Snagglepuss!

[Meanwhile, walking from The Main Store into The Back Yard--]

SNAGGLEPUSS, somewhat stunned at his mention: Heavens to Timbits! Always Open, Always Fresh even! Do I have the legendary canine detectives, Woofer and Whimper, before me?

WOOFER: Who else would you think we were, a couple of stagehands from the Cattanooga Cats?!

WHIMPER, chuckling slightly: I kind of liked that bit there about the Cattanooga Cats, and yet we were talking about the reputed addicting properties of Wall Drug's donuts--

WOOFER, interjecting: I should apologise, Snagglepuss. Whimper just can't help but get excited about Wall Drug to begin with!

WHIMPER: Still, is it likely we might get some of those addicting Wall Drug donuts?

WOOFER: Not quite ... instead, you ever try their buffalo burgers?

SNAGGLEPUSS: Which, I must admit, are a sea change from your average McDonald's burger. How about it? Follow Uncle ...

[Meanwhile, back in the queue for the 5-cent coffee ...]

VELMA DINKLEY, from Scooby-Doo's crew: I certainly hope the 5-cent price they charge here for coffee extends as well to decaf!

DAPHNE BLAKE, likewise: Trying not to be a fashion plate myself, I have to admit that decaffeinated coffee is certainly a blessing heading into quite the road trip ahead towards the Black Hills ...

NORVILLE "SHAGGY" ROGERS, ditto: Like, Scoob, what could be better than a cup of the legendary 5-cent Wall Drug coffee?

SCOOBY-DOO, somewhat perplexed: Row rbout rhose Rall Rrug ronuts?

"SHAGGY": Who wouldn't agree?

FREDDIE JONES, holding a rather substantial travel mug himself: I should say so myself; after all, cracking mysteries can certainly burn up calories galore ...

VELMA: Now he tells me ...

[Back at the donut counter--]

A WALL DRUG DONUT MAKER: Baker's dozen plain donuts for, uh, Lippy the Lion?!

LIPPY THE LION: 'Tis I, 'tis I!

A WALL DRUG DONUT MAKER: Why exactly is it that you wanted our donuts plain, to begin with?

LIPPY THE LION: Why be distracted? Come, Hardy; the experience of the open road awaits!

HARDY HAR-HAR, ever the pessimist: And you wonder how much longer it'll be before Ten Sleep Canyon, let alone Yellowstone Park, let alone further all those donuts!

LIPPY THE LION, holding a substantial travel mug: Uh, did I mention the coffee as well, Hardy?

HARDY HAR-HAR: Who needed the coffee anyway when it seems you can't otherwise get a decent meal?
