Another scintillating lunch conversation had someone bringing up the caped crusader El Kabong, who was the alter ego of Quick Draw McGraw, one of the many cartoons from the schlockmeisters Hanna-Barbara. Nobody in the room believed that we weren't "inventing" the character as a hoax. I wish that had been the case, since Hanna-Barbara's lame product (at least in the later years) probably began or at least signaled the dumbing down of America. It looks like the generation that grew up watching Scooby-Doo is now watching Fear Factor. Your Honor, I rest my case.
