. . . a graduate-level university course on Herman Melville's weighty Moby tome based upon The Bullwinkle Show adaptation labeled as the "Wailing Whale" story arc will need to keep a few key factors in mind. Few if any of Melville's ten key whaling-killing events are covered by Wailing Whale, nor is the infamous chapter dealing with dissecting a giant mammal touched upon in all of its egregiously excruciating detail. Furthermore, at best just one of the nine meetings with other ships punctuating the original Moby is checked off here. Finally, not much is done to explicate Melville's assimilation with Shakespeare. So do not count on acing any tests on Moby if Bullwinkle is your only guide.

There's a segment of this program dealing with . . .

. . . the dire dichotomy between Good and Evil. Self-proclaimed wrong doer Boris Bad-Enough distorts Bullwinkle J. Moose's Pledge of Allegiance to his organization aimed at young children, by objecting to the promise to be "Honest, Clean, Brave, Loyal and Trustworthy." Boris says that it is necessary to be unfair and unbalanced by giving equal attention to foul play. Unfortunately, America did not heed this warning when it was issued in 1961. Instead, one side of the equation was allowed to get worse and worse, until the United States reached the miserable conditions prevailing Today. FAN CLUB #7 highlights how everybody got off on the wrong track.

Underwater Fright

The threesome are on the sea bottom and are pulled into a cave by a metal contraption with claws. A stranger figure is inside and takes them to sort of paradise. Meanwhile, their boat has hit land, blowing Parnassus and the other executives into the air. The special features involve Aesop''s "The Porcupine and the Tigers," where a bone eating porcupine threatens a simple minded tiger and his wife. Peabody and Sherman visit William Tell as he is about to shoot an apple off his son's head.

Aesop does not seem to be very well-versed . . .

. . . regarding the singular title character of his Bullwinkle Show fable called THE PORCUPINE AND THE TIGERS. Porcupines are nocturnal herbivore rodents, consuming diets of leaves, herbs, clover, bark and twigs. No self-respecting porcupine would be caught dead gnawing on animal bones, particularly when they're slathered with tiger drool. This fact more or less negates Aesop's entire exercise in misinformation. If Aesop were a seat filler on America's high kangaroo court, he could fly his U. S. flag upside down in support of insurrection, and later blame it on his wife. But, as Bullwinkle fans well know, Aesop is a single dad. Were Aesop a Kenyan, he'd chow down on porcupines for dessert, instead of orange sherbet. Then he wouldn't worry as much if his freezer was on the fritz. However, as a Roman slave, Aesop's main civic duty is to bellow "I am SPARTACUS!!"
