Well, it does turn out that all the things you probably thought
were traditional were actually invented as few as twenty years ago, so
it could be either way.
I was startled the other day when I finally got around to the
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Thingy Volume Six and saw a wartime
cartoon I'd never noticed before, featuring Pinto Colvig as the voice
of a kangaroo. He's a relatively hep cat for a kangaroo so, naturally,
he gets tormented by a pair of Scottish-accented rabbits who cheat in
order to prove they can leap better than he can even though they can't,
and it ends with him accidentally blowing up Tokyo. Wartime cartoons
got weird.
