Review
In the late '50s and early '60s, the most subversive show ever to hit the airwaves enchanted millions of American grade-schoolers. The kiddies tuned in to watch Bullwinkle J. Moose and Rocket J. Squirrel of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, indulge in cartoon acrobatics and rattle off a series of unbelievable puns. This encyclopedic volume details their every adventure, from chasing the wailing whale Maybe Dick to joining the football team at Wossamotta U. The sinister Pottsylvanian spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale sneak into a goodly share of the pages, along with Dudley Do-Right, the square-jawed Mountie; Snidely Whiplash, the luxuriantly mustachioed villain; Mr. Peabody, the beagle who knows everything; and his boy Sherman. It's a loving, cleverly-illustrated tribute to these saviors of the free world and an admiring paean to the twisted, hilarious genius of Jay Ward, their modest creator, who set the standard for TV animation for generations to come.
From the Back Cover
Rocky and His Friends, Jay Ward's animated cartoon show starring a flying squirrel and an intellectual moose, debuted in 1959 and instantly won the hearts of audiences and critics alike. Sophisticated, political, and wickedly satirical, it was the first animated program to appeal to children and adults - though they laughed at entirely different moments. Later called The Bullwinkle Show, it challenged all previously lauded animated shows and set the precedent for future ones. It's been over thirty-five years since Ward's All-American Squirrel and Knows-It-All Moose hit the airwaves, and though the show originally ran only five years, it remains one of the most-loved programs ever created. Now, for the first time, the incredible adventures of Bullwinkle J. Moose, Rocket J. Squirrel, Boris Badenov, and Natasha Fatale come alive in this comprehensive collectible filled with vibrant illustrations, long-lost memorabilia, and lots of great insider information. Featuring hilarious behind-the-scenes tales of the show's creation and phenomenal success, a blow-by-blow account of each memorably sidesplitting episode, and page after page of full-color original art that is as authentic as it is outrageous, The Rocky and Bullwinkle Book is the first authorized book to celebrate the classic series - a perfect addition to every loyal fan's collection.
