Hathcock does the bidding war between Spacely and Cogswell, the hydro-resistance test, the rock, and George crushed between walls. Every JETSON episode with Hathcock animation also has Muse animation, and their styles are jarringly different. <br /><br />The concept of an 'indestructible' garment or weapon being undone by dry cleaning, or a loose thread, or something similarly trivial, was also used by Hanna and Barbera in their Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello cartoons. In all three instances, the person wearing the garment still seems to endure a great deal of physical suffering and slapstick cartoon temporary injuries.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-76733269902596860852016-07-10T14:23:09.368-07:002016-07-10T14:23:09.368-07:007/10/16

In the early 60's the Soviet Union was spreading a lot of propaganda that their science was superior to the West, not just in space (they WERE first with satellites and putting a man in space), but that they had invented / discovered radio, the light bulb and television first! Now that line makes sense, doesn't it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474203661540780474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-11679432646098504552016-07-09T18:02:05.873-07:002016-07-09T18:02:05.873-07:00I belive the name of the department store Jane men...I belive the name of the department store Jane mentions is Steers-Robot, not Roebuck (a real name).<br /><br />"We should of put a label in it - DRY CLEAN ONLY!!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474203661540780474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-18712031363126322442016-07-09T15:12:01.279-07:002016-07-09T15:12:01.279-07:00Nope.

There is an episode of "The Jetsons" (I can't recall the name of it offhand; I think it might be "Rosey the Robot") in which Elroy tells his mother that at school he'll be going on a field trip to various places around the world. Jane replies, "Be nice to the little Russian boys," or something to that effect. <br /><br />So, that makes at least two Cold War references in H-B cartoons. Curiously, they both occur in the same series. I wouldn't be surprised to learn of some other Cold War references as well. <br /><br />Your larger point, of course, still stands. In Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Cold War references were very rare.
