Saturday morning FUN with a cartoon!!!!!!!
I grew up in an era I remember very fondly. It was an era that seems long ago now back when there were only three TV channels and now we have more than three cartoon only channels which run 24 hours a day, all year long. Back in the day most TV stations signed off from midnight or a little later until 5:00 or 6:00 AM the next morning. Never understood why but that Midnight or 1:00 AM sign off by the stations always scared the crap out of me. It was in many ways a much simpler time. If you wanted to see cartoons, you mostly waited for Saturday morning from around 8:00 AM to Noon when all three stations ran cartoons such as Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, the RoadRunner, Deputy Dawg, Casper, Mister Magoo, Johnny Qwest, followed by Scooby Doo later and many many others.
So with these thoughts in mind sitting here typing on a Saturday morning, it seems an appropriate time for another circa 1905 to 1910 New Departure Coaster Brake cartoon postcard featuring a childhood nursery rhyme, "Jack & Jill".
