Except this kind of is, if you want it to be.
Anybody my age or older was raised on Warner Brothers cartoons; among other things, their vaudeville tropes are almost entirely responsible for our knowing anything about that art form, whose popularity peaked when our grandparents were in high school. Yet somehow, a very important facet of those gems of animation's golden age remains occult, in spite of the fact that it's been right in our faces for decades.
I found this video fascinating, and if Looney Tunes was a cherished part of your childhood, you will, too. One thing is certain: I'll never look at them the same way again.
Oh, and the Zen angle? It's about clear-seeing. And being present. And appreciating the fulness of unrequested blessings.
And not making everything so goddam serious.
So prepare to be floored by something you've seen a hundred times.
And Happy July.
