LIZARD!!!!-Who'd want to type on this?

These came up on my Facebook Feed and well..... 

They are something.

After the surprising Success of DISNEY/PIXAR's HOPPERS,

You know a company is gonna make a Mechanical Keyboard based on the most popular character in the film:

Yeah, this Lizard right here who's barely got enough screentime in the damn film somehow thinks that getting a FORTNITE SKIN is not enough.

That's right.

In order to make up for the lack of his screentime compared to all the effort the marketing department gave him, he somehow decided to use his EPIC GAMES Salary to get the DUCKEY company to make a mechanical keyboard in his visage.

And if THOCKY/LUBRICATED Linear Switches is not his thing, 

what about Linear switches that activate another switch via a board matrix that allows the Keyboard's Built-In speaker to say "LIZARD!" every time?

Probably doesn't matter if you use Cherry, Akko, KAILH, Epomaker, Gateron, or whatever switches are out there.

It's probably the Custom Board Matrix that does all the work.

Now if only BLOGGER.COM would have the audacity to allow easier embedding of Videos from INSTAGRAM or TIKTOK but apparently, GOOGLE feels it's imperative to keep all video embedding to their own services.

At least it plays ball with YOUTUBE SHORTS......

My apologies for doing this to you my fine readers.

In the words of LITTLE CAT from TWEETERMAN287's old 2008 Video,

"This is really starting to give me a headache."

Yeah, more Computer Posts but I can't resist when it comes to Mechanical Keyboards.

TWEETY BIRD's very first Outing-A TALE OF TWO KITTIES

Never thought I'd see the day I do this but I'm finally doing it.

I'm posting about this Cartoon called

A TALE OF TWO KITTIES

Believe it or not, this was one of my first pieces of material I typed on my former WIX BLOG before I migrated to BLOGGER.COM but for some strange reason, I never got around to making this post on BLOGGER.COM until now.

If you don't believe me about my WIX blog story, behold an old FEBRUARY 2023 Screenshot I took before the migration to BLOGGER.COM:

Forgive the layout. I don't have a 4:3 Monitor in Portrait Mode. This was just a result of how my setup with my MSI Laptop & ACER monitor was back in 2023.

I may have to quote in verbatim some parts of that old blogpost but at the same time, SPRUCE IT UP with newer bits of knowledge I now know.

So sit back, Grab yourself a bag of LAYS Potato Chips, and a can of PEPSI THROWBACK & READ-ALONG.

A TALE OF TWO KITTIES is a 1942 Cartoon by BOB CLAMPETT's Unit at TERMITE TERRACE and it's directed by the man himself:

What's also important about this BOB CLAMPETT Cartoon is that it's the very first to feature the debut of one TWEETY BIRD.

Except for several things which.... well.... I already spoiled the surprise with that above image way at the top of this blogpost but I sometimes screw up.

Anyway, This was when TWEETY was NUDE!!!

"I'M NUDE......."

Uh... Not like EARTHWORM JIM when he's deprived of his SUPER SUIT.

No. Not nude as a NUDIST.

But rather ATRICIAL AVIAN NUDITY....

Yes. This is a thing that's part of a baby bird's growth.

In this Cartoon, and several others down the line,

TWEETY's born without feathers.

Of course, in Cartoon land, TWEETY's born a PRECOCIAL Bird.... just without his feathers that is.

The difference between Altricial vs Precocial is that...

Altricial Birds are born without feathers and are dependent on the parents.

While Precocial birds are capable of taking care of themselves.

So NUDE TWEETY is a mix. He's born without feathers yet he's perfectly adept at taking care of himself.

And I've read that TWEETY's nakedness is inspired by an old BABY PHOTO of BOB CLAMPETT himself.

But that won't stop our FEATHERLESS PRECOCIAL AVIAN from causing all sorts of Mayhem.

"DAW...... wook at how cute wittle BABY CWAMPETT is...."

I also forgot to mention that in this Cartoon, TWEETY was not his name but rather ORSON.

No relation to actor ORSON WELLES

"Though my film CITIZEN KANE did open about a year prior so that's a coincidence."

I mentioned how...... 

Ok.... I'll wait till the end of this post before I quip.

It all starts with a Camera Pan

And the sounds of someone Complaining.

Who could that be?

Why it's none other than BABBIT & CATSTELLO.

Shout outs to Comedy Duo ABBOT & COSTELLO.

BABBIT wants to eat some birds for breakfast.

 But.....

CATSTELLO doesn't want to.

His excuse is because he thinks Baby Birds are too cute and cuddly to eat.

BABBIT reminds CATSTELLO that if the both of them don't eat, they'll starve to death.

CATSTELLO doesn't seem to mind that.

WHAT IS HE? A VEGETARIAN CAT?

So BABBIT decides to tell CATSTELLO that the bird they're after is....

A SMALL DEFENSELESS BIRD.

Like these three

This riles up CATSTELLO...

"LET ME AT EM!!!!!"

Yup. He goes nuts with enthusiasm.

This transitions to the two of them managing to enter a storage shed.

*KERSPLAT!!!!*

"Come on. Quit your fooling."

"Get up that ladder!!!"

What have you got in your Pocket BABBIT?

A NEEDLE? For what?

"TERMITE TERRACE SECRET FINGER JUTSU!!!!"

"THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!!!!"

"OUUUUUCH!!!!!"

Yeah. I've always wanted to pull of a NARUTO joke even though this Cartoon Predates NARUTO by about 60 years.

But regardless,

Both techniques look painful.

"!!!"

"I did it....*Whistles*"

Then BABBIT checks up on what CATSTELLO is doing.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! GET THE BIRD!!!"

CATSTELLO however is afraid of heights.

"OOOOOooooohhhhh!!!"

The following is one of my favorite jokes...

"GIVE ME THE BIRD! GIVE ME THE BIRD!!!"

"If the HAYS OFFICE would only let me do, I'd give him the bird alright!"

For those who don't get the joke,

It's clearly CATSTELLO taking a POTSHOT against the HAYS OFFICE, A Censorship bureau that held a chokehold on HOLLYWOOD from 1934 until 1968.

I did a major blogpost about it back in 2023 & 2025.

But for Professionalism sakes, Here's the Link to my 2025 Post:

The HAYS CODE-The most infamous Censorship Bureau that however shaped the Golden Age of Hollywood from 1930 to 1968

I did mention in the original WIX post however that this joke was excised by the modern executives of THE WB NETWORK years later because they thought BABBIT wanted CATSTELLO to flip him off, which he wasn't.

He was simply demanding that CATSTELLO should grab the Bird they're gonna eat.

HAYS OFFICE aside, this was one of the first signs that it was a dumb idea 

to make TWEETY a NUDE BIRD....

according to LEON SCHLESINGER in 1942.

"BRRRrrrrr....."

And then the cartoon segues into all sorts of Mayhem for poor CATSTELLO here.

Like Ladders,

"HELP!!!!"

Stilts,

Jack in the Boxes,

TNTs,

Powerlines,

Now we know where TOUCHSTONE PICTURES got that idea for the LITTLE PIGGIES joke in WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT.

You can't have a LOONEY TUNE without your good ole ACME ANVIL,

and the aftermath of it all.

Since this BOB CLAMPETT CARTOON premiered in theaters roughly about a year after the UNITED STATES formally entered WWII after PEARL HARBOR, expect some jokes relating to the war at the time:

Like Planes,

Searchlights,

Air-Raid Warning Alerts:

"HELLO? INTERCEPTOR COMMAND.

I see an unidentified object flying above my little head."

Though jokes about Farmer pitchforks and haystacks are wholly original to TERMITE TERRACE, not the U.S Army.

"Air Raid! Lights out! Total Blackout!

Break it up Pussycats! Break it up!

Air Raid! Lights out! Total Blackout!"

I'm glad I still kept most of my old December 2022 VLC Screenshots for this cartoon.

I needed to talk about this cartoon on this blog and I've just got around to it.

If you want to bask in the Glory of this BOB CLAMPETT CLASSIC, here's the video link below:

A TALE OF TWO KITTIES(1942)

And why am I embedding the video here?

Because the short has been in the public domain since 1970 due to UNITED ARTISTS failing to renew the COPYRIGHT on time.

I used a link to the one on WIKIPEDIA but SR BULLET BILL of ARCHIVE.ORG has a huge backlog of Cartoons in his account.

Every Cartoonist should have SR BULLET BILL in their life.

While his print is likely an EL-GATO Capture from HBO MAX, due to ZASLAV's TAX WRITE-OFF FINGERS OF DOOM, the cartoon transferred to TUBI.

But for me, it's always ARCHIVE.ORG for me.

In the later years, the HAYS OFFICE cried afoul(No avian puns please) over the fact that TWEETY is a PSEUDO-ATRICIAL/PRECOCIAL BIRD.

They demanded that TWEETY have feathers or he can kiss his career goodbye.

So FRIZ FRELENG took the bird and gave him feathers, 

And gave him a new owner:

She goes just by the name GRANNY

And TWEETY also got a new ADVERSARY:

"THSUFFERING THSUCOTATSH!!!!

We all know it's me! SYLVESTER!!!!!"

I almost forgot to mention, this Cartoon was where TWEETY's famous:

"I TOUGHT I TAW A PUDDY TAT!" Catchphrase originated.

Here it is in full:

"I TOUGHT I TAW A PUDDY TAT!"

!!!!

"I DID!!!

I TAW A PUDDY TAT!!!!"

One thing that BABBIT & CATSTELLO are not happy about is not the fact that multiple CATS alongside SYLVESTER have replaced them and copied their schtick,

But rather that TWEETY became so famous that he has his own PEZ DISPENSER

You'll know when your favorite Cartoon Bird has become so famous that 

Jerry Seinfeld will have a Pez Dispenser bearing TWEETY's FACE.

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta to finish up this blogpost before I.........

"TURN OUT THOSE LIGHTS!!!!!!!!"

Sorry Tweety.....

In any Case, I'll see you next blogpost.
