Well, those who developed Rocky and Bullwinkle, were probably the only
people at the time to be contacted by the CIA to eliminate characters
from their program. Mr. Big, Boris Baddenoff and Natasha, not counting
other assorted spies ( BTW, did you ever notice that the jet that Mr.
Big flew in looked stragly a kin to a Mig fighter?) were seen as a
threat to peace negotiations with the Russians during the "cold war"
and though ficticious, the CIA thought those characters might be
making fun of the Rooskie's and wanted them removed from the show so
the Rd's wouldn't get hacked off.

Then here comes some of the shows that had a mysterious hat clled the
"Kerwood Derby" which was a play on Gary Moore's side kick named
"Derwood Kirby" . Kirby didn't like it and had his lawyers contact
the creators of Rocky and gave them a cease letter threatening a
lawsuit over the mis-use of the name. They wrote back and said, "Go
ahead and sue us, we need the publicity!" which incidently would have
made Kirby look like an idiot for suing a well-liked cartoon for
defamation.

BTW, in the short-cuts between the feature cartoons, Rocky would walk
out on stage and Bullwinkle would be sitting there in some wizard hat
and gazing into a crystal ball. Then Bullwinkle would say; "Eenie
Meenie, Chilli Beanie. The spirits are about to speak!"

Did you ever figure out that line? Yes, it does have a meaning....

Well, fill us in then man...
