It’s Hammerbarn Time

Our local Bunnings home center is now a Hammerbarn to celebrate the cartoon Bluey.

Curmudgeon alert:

I’ve always loved cartoons. I credit cartoons for teaching me a lot of stuff, especially the old Warner Bros ones loaded with references to Hollywood, literature and classical music. The animated short films that would get packaged up for theatrical release in the pre-internet days were mind-blowing! Bullwinkle and Underdog were totally subversive and hilarious. The Simpsons. King of the Hill. Even South Park, although that was about the limit for me.

I tried to watch a few minutes of Bluey, however, and found it utterly content-free. I fear for the younger generation.
