Description: A meme has been circulating featuring an offbeat cartoon character standing in a freezer. Above this, it states: “It’s February 1976, and this weirdo who looks like he has jaundice just came on TV in the middle of cartoons and told me to fill our ice cube trays with orange juice.” This comical meme shows just how much an entire generation remembers a unique character named Timer. Created by the DePatie-Freleng animation studio (most famous for the Pink Panther series), Timer was a round, yellow-colored character with a pointy nose, bow tie, and top hat designed to represent the sense of time in the human body.
Description: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story in Rudyard Kipling's 1894 collection about the adventures of a valiant young Indian grey mongoose in India. Based on the classic mongoose and snake fable, the story has been anthologized and published multiple times, and been made into animated features. This design is based on the 1975 cartoon version that American audiences are most familiar with. The story focuses on an English family living in India who discovers a mongoose residing on the estate. They decide to keep him as a pet, in the hopes that he will keep them safe from the many cobras that live in the surrounding jungle. Their new pet quickly begins earning his keep, as two cobras make the family their new target.

The film is an allegory showing how society rejects people and ideas that are different from the norm, and makes this point over and over again throughout. Long story short, be yourself!
Description: Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long was a segment of Hanna-Barbera's 1964–1966 cartoon The Magilla Gorilla Show, and later appeared on The Peter Potamus Show. Taking place in a Wild West setting, Ricochet Rabbit (voiced by Don Messick) worked as a sheriff in the town of Hoop 'n' Holler. Ricochet would bounce off stationary objects yelling "Bing-bing-bing!" His deputy and foil Droop-a-Long Coyote (voiced by Mel Blanc impersonating Ken Curtis) was not as fast and was very clumsy. In addition to his speed, which enabled him to outrun bullets, Ricochet used trick bullets against his opponents, including a bullet that would stop in mid-flight and strike the target with an impossibly oversized mallet, and another which would draw
