anybody remember that Tiny Toon Adventures episode where a guy began laughing so hard at old noodle limb cartoons that he started inflating like Veruca Salt with no explanation and then exploded

To be fair, WB wasn't totally comfortable with the blackface characterization to begin with and if you look at the old cartoons you can see Bosko "evolve" in real time (like he stops speaking in minstrel dialect after the first cartoon)

But yeah it's awkward that the Warner siblings on Animaniacs have a backstory that's clearly based on Bosko Saying these Felix-the-Cat style totally anarchic rubber hose cartoons were "forgotten" for decades because they were just too weird and not that they were racist
