I TAW, I TAW A PUDDY TATI taw, I taw a puddy tat. There was nothing Mickey Mouse about the old cartoons. Popeye the sailor man, toot, toot, there in the movie theatre up front we sat. Enjoying features like the Bowery Boys, the serials, the Movietone news and all those Looney Tunes, Ma and Pa Kettle, and Francis the talking mule. Straight nibbed pens, ink wells, blotter rolls and all that fun copying stuff off the school classroom board and recovering at Saturday matinees from the chalk dust at our local schools.
