For this month’s meeting, we’ll be screening an arch of episodes from the animated variety show The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends!

Rocky & Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor. Mixing puns, cultural and topical satire, and self-referential humor, it appealed to adults as well as children. The art has a choppy, unpolished look and yet the series has long been held in high esteem by those who have seen it; the show has been described as a well-written radio program with pictures.

The main segment of Rocky & Bullwinkle is the serialized adventures of the two title characters. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the Russian-like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. spies for the fictional country of Pottsylvania and their boss, Fearless Leader. Supporting segments include Dudley Do-Right, Peabody's Improbable History, and Fractured Fairy Tales, among others.

We hope hope to see you there!
