Here, live-action detectives fire cowardly cartoon bullets, and voluptuous cartoon women try to seduce live-action men. Children enjoyed its slapstick, adults enjoyed its more mature humor and all marveled at the smooth blend of actors and Toons.

Bush clenched his jaw. "Well, Mrs. Bush and I want...
...patriotism available at this time, did you choose him for your cover?" A Greeley, Colo., reader railed, "How dare you dignify this monstrous creature! Isn't it enough that we have to hear his name 50 times a day?" But a Pennsylvanian chose to indulge in some gallows humor: "Darts should have been included with your picture of the 'target...
