Plot summary: Okay, so there's a hunter named Major Minor (who I'm sure was an indecisive college student before he took up big game) who wants to kill a wild mountain lion. So he finds one, and it turns out to be a PINK mountain lion with a penchant for acting lingo who is civilized and into logic and all that intellectualistic shit. What would you do if you sat in the woods for five hours of the morning waiting for a deer, and when he showed up he was purple and being ridden by Liza Minelli on a silver sparkly saddle? What if you took your B.B. gun up a tree and found two boy birds making out while bird versions of Will and Grace chirp salaciously on a small bird television? You'd probably turn the gun on yourself. And getting a B.B. stuck in your brain is nothing to get happy about. Once I accidentally shot a B.B. into my braweeeeeeeeeee colors lolololol (more)

User Comments: Did they really have to make the gay lion pink? I would consider the motivation behind animators to create a homosexual animal for a children's cartoon show in the fifties. But more puzzling is how an animal, or a man for that matter, could wear cuffs and a collar WITHOUT A SHIRT ON. What keeps them on? Are the cuffs just loose fitting snap bracelets? Is the collar held on by his Colonel Sanders-style necktie?

OH GOD you know what would be funny? If somebody made a cartoon where Snagglepuss was like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy for other Hanna-Barbera characters! It could be on Adult Swim and be TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. Like Snagglepuss could try to teach the Park Ranger from Yogi Bear how to properly douche or whatever and then they could say SANDWICHES and then stare at each other for five minutes. It would rule. And then they could go on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and be like, IS THAT YOUR FINAL ANSWER GOODBYE.
