Ie., one who's able to TALK a great game about how much he loves the old
vintage-HB shorts, and hires himself out on DVD commentaries as
self-appointed authority on All Looney Tunes, Especially Bob Clampett,
'Cause They're the Wackiest--
And yet for his own contributions, centrates on Wacky Spastic tributes
to his "influences" that seem to reflect *selectively* chosen
arrested-high-school interests that don't even strike within miles of
why the REAL experts found the vintage material funny--And if it hadn't
been for his own extra-curricular "Animation expert" moonlighting, we'd
have sworn he was just getting a cheap unresearched laff out of old
50's/60's pop-references, just like all the other wannabes...

...With "defenders" of the old-school like John K., we don't need any
Cartoon Networks. -_-
