    That site is really neat... :thumbs2:

    BTW I searched the net about common facts for the company that used the Maverick in that ad, wanted to be sure not to give away info that could be easily found...

    S&H Green Stamps...

    According to Wikipedia their catalog was the most published item in the US during the '60s, gone now...

    Yes, I remember the S&H green stamps, had to stick them in a book and send them off for stuff, the glue tasted like crap.

    What I was asking, what is the phrase, "you're smarter than the average bear" from?

    Yeah I watched those when they were new(in glorious B&W)...

    Other HB toons incl Incl Pixie & Dixie(with Mr Jinks), Quick Draw Mc Graw(with Bobba Louie), Huckleberry Hound and no doubt others I'm forgetting... Those HB cartoons were a breath of fresh air after watching Heckle & Jeykill(sp?), Betty Boop and Tom & Jerry(though I liked that one), etc...

    I think probably everyone liked the Roadrunner...
