Six Gun Obsession

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 14 March 2021]

Bullwinkle has an obsession with TV westerns. He watches them from morning till night. One day he blows away his TV and for a time his passion is subdued. But when a ranch comes up for sale, the Lazy J,, he and Rocky buy it and head west. But there's some kind of danger there which the villagers make obvious. Two special features include Hans Klunker, who has trouble with employment, and a new Dudley Do-Right, who suffers when Snidely drops a boulder on his head and he begins to hallucinate. Pretty funny.

Anderson's childhood, it relates the facts about the Dark Days prior to Denmark's adoption of socialized medicine, when the Clinker Clan could not come up with the clams needed to underwrite Mrs. Clinker's desperately needed hypothalamus transplant. Surgeons demanded that the Clinker's fork over the millions of Dickens necessary for the procedure up front, even though Mrs. Clinker's autonomous nervous system was getting wackier by the day. However, as his mom was taking a turn for the worse, Hans miraculously obtained a pair of Silver Skates, allowing him to win enough prize money to finance the operation. Even though Mrs. Anderson passed away at the finish line, the bereaved family was enabled to purchase one of the most ostentatious markers in the entire cemetery. However, The Bullwinkle Show wisely shifts the focus of this story to tuba lessons for HANS CLINKER.

. . . America, Bullwinkle's Corner: FAN CLUB #9 deals with the decline and fall of American Journalism, the sprouts of which were already evident in 1961 when the Lazy Jay Ranch episodes of The Bullwinkle Show first began. It was around this time that news periodicals, particularly daily or weekly "papers," began devolving into increasingly narrow "niche" publications, appealing only to smaller and smaller pieces of America's swiftly fragmenting current-events consuming pie. Compounding this problem, management began putting the bean counters in charge of everything, sacrificing journalistic integrity to the almighty bottom line. All of these trends and more are thoroughly explored in FAN CLUB #9.
