This is Muskie Muskrat from TerryToon's 'Deputy Dawg' series. Muskie and his friends are generally up to some sort of comical mischief, but as he has a sorta-kinda-frenemy relationship with Deputy Dawg, Muskie seldom gets into any serious trouble.
An example,
MUSKIE: "Oh, c'mon Deputy Dawg---you don't want to put me in jail"
DEPUTYDAWG: "Nope! But if you take one more egg I will! And I mean it, Muskie! I really mean it!"
'Deputy Dawg' is an animated series from the Jim-Crow era of the 1960's, so be mindful of that if you intend to watch. Vintage cartoons often relied on stereotypes ...'Deputy Dawg' is not an exception. For example, 'Deputy Dawg' adores Southern-American and 'Asian' accents and dialect (moreover, the cast is replete with annoying voices). As an American Southerner, I'm not 'offended' in the slightest, but it is kinda painful to endure after so long (esp. in how often the cast abuses the word 'boy' ...which is a term some may find offensive, albeit, the cast uses it in reference to everyone, including to Deputy Dawg). ^^
I watched several episodes of 'Deputy Dawg'---a very easy task given each episode is less than ten minutes long. I cannot say I noted any obvious satire or anything overtly objectionable (apart from the aforementioned accents). But, then, I'm not the sensitive sort. ^^
Effectively everyone is an animal of some sort, save for the sheriff (who is human for some reason), but he's very much a side character.
N-E-way,
I drew Muskie with my Wallace Zephyr, and delineated him via this 'Twenty Grand' pencil ...and, yes, I know what 'twenty grand' means in pop culture (I swear, we have too many words and phrases for sex/sexual activities). :p
Anyway, I'm unsure where this 'Twenty Grand' pencil came from. Liberty Pencil Works made a model with the 'Twenty Grand' title, but I don't think this is a Liberty pencil (the Liberty was numbered '90', this one is numbered '1406'). This one likely has a similar story as that of my Ivanhoe pencils featured in a previous upload, but nothing is certain here.
There's a useage of musky, period. No need for furry. It's this whole thing and it pulls in characters like Tony The Tiger. The world's a strange place, but this character's name always weirded me.

I used to watch stuff like this a lot. I would probably find it boring these days. You say you're not sensitive, how about watching Rick and Morty or The Walking Dead? I don't consider myself particularly sensitive, but apparently people are shocked by the afore mentioned.

At first I was hoping Morty would kill Rick. Then I got used to it. In fact I believe Morty got back at Rick at least once. At least one version of Morty got back at another version of Rick. I am not really sure I give a damn about any of the characters since you can never be sure what universe they're from and no matter what happens to any of them there will some other version. I suppose I could feel for each version I see passing by, but hey it's all so fleeting and chaotic. But chaotic nihilism appears what the program is all about. That actually tends to bother me more than what happens to any of the characters. Oh well, I just lean back and enjoy the mayhem, try to get the references and make some kind of sense of all the mayhem. In so far that last part is actually feasible without going insane.
I wonder how many people desperately try to use their insights to demonstrate how smart they are, or am I just projecting that onto them because I feel kind of stupid for having to look up what's all about?

Actually I think I figured it out. Rick often kills people. "uses Morty". I am not sure about the IQ thingy. I often feel the urge to show people Homer Simpson burning his diploma (and house without noticing) while going on about how smart he is when they talk about their own self-percieved? intellect.

I used to be like that. While I still don't care for a lot modern cartoons, I have found a few I like a lot. To name a few:
Red Wall (Given I was already an adult when it first aired it counts despite being 21 years old) Thundercats the 2010 remake. Rick and Morty
Same for non-animated stuff. I have either grown a bit tired of older stuff or think it's outdated. Some older movies look ridiculous compared to modern stuff. Older cartoons aren't nearly as detailed in their animator or in depth story wise as newer stuff.
While the cartoon characters you draw are cute most of those old cartoons are obsolete trash that crumble in comparison to newer stuff. Note: I still don't think that entitles someone to doing hate reviews of them.
Yes, the widdle foxy-woxy wants the what ever the hell you're supposed to be to tell him he's such a clever little boy. LOL

Look at him! Isn't he just as clever as he wants to be? *turns to Foxy; nuzzles*
Newer stuff is more story-driven, but it's also very self-aware and cynical.
For decades, cartoons were about pushing products, esp. food and stuffed toys/action figures. So, while the stories weren't that good (esp. in the 80's), the characters were visually appealing (they had to be). The 90's was (slightly) less about toys and more about imparting simplistic morals, 'education' and PSAs ...as well experiments in maturer cartoons/stories. The 2000's was more the same, but with a lean to preschool education and channels/blocks dedicated to specific demographics of animation fans. The 2010's (to put it mildly) was mostly agenda-driven. ^^

Could you give an example of what you mean by reckless and aggressive? A fragment of a cartoon promoting what you just mentioned in a way that's bad according to you would help me understand what exactly you mean.

I read your review. Perhaps I am a bit slugglish today, but could you spell it out for me?
Also, 80's and 90's cartoons could be rather stupid with their moralizing, such as (the admittedly well meant lectures but clumsy) lectures at the end of He-Man or Sonic cartoons. Or the Care Bears' (LOL) overly simplistic promotion of cooperation, caring and friendship... Or how about Captain Planet's well meant but clumsy handling of environmental issues and even politics?
I have read a lot of griping about such cartoons online, and while I think some of the criticism is legitimate, people generally don't like it when they feel they're being lectured to. When I was younger I tended to lean much more towards the villains. Still do, you haven't noticed any rowdy behaviour from me, have you? ROFLMAO

LOL - Seriously your review is long and I am not sure what issue you had with how the Arthur cartoon handled same sex marriages? I believe you said they played it too safe and predictable while later stating you didn't seem to think children should be confronted with adult topics, correct?
LOL - Seriously your review is long and I am not sure what issue you had with how the Arthur cartoon
They treated it as a joke. Arthur usually handles topics like this very well, but this one ended with a condescending wink---what are kids supposed to take home from that? There really aren't many kids shows that will 'discuss' this sort of thing intelligently. Sesame Street handled it FAR better than Arthur did here.

I suppose they felt like not being overly serious while making that ep.You also watch Sesame Street? I am not sure whether to laugh at you or to commend you. I usually don't admit all the kiddy stuff I am into to others except online. I am not sure how I should feel about being into kiddie stuff and only admitting it online behind this username.
Do you ever mention watching kids shows offline? What kind of reactions do you get if you do?
I suppose if you want your topics to be covered in a serious and mature manner you should watch talk shows or something. Or are they too depressing? The nice thing about kids stuff is that difficult topics are much less in your face in a depressing manner.

I don't 'watch' Sesame Street, but I am aware when they cover topics such as this (and opium addition ...and parents in prison, etc), and watch the clips/reactions-to.
I've worn a sportcoat and tie, to Target, while also wearing a Pikachu backpack. Others can think whatever they like, but no one can openly chide me or it's a hate crime. :3
Foxy thinks he's better than me. :3 I don't 'watch' Sesame Street, but I am aware when they cover t
" condescending wink---what are kids supposed to take home from that?" - Dunno, how about "don't worry about it too much until you're older". Remember, you are the 40+ complaining about feeling a program for 6+ is being "condescending." Perhaps you should try to think more about what the program expects from its target audience?

Perhaps. I have noticed that understanding a subject can make it all the harder to not let it get to you. Perhaps its target demographic understands the subject matter but needs reminding not to let it get to them?
I used to get depressed, worried and skittish because I understood the message all too well, but couldn't put it into proper perspective and let it go. I once saw a news item about the ozone layer and the hole in it. Guess what happened? I started worrying too much about the dangers of exposure to sunlight without knowing how to deal with it.
Putting things into proper perspecive is something I am still learning. Even at 41+.

Yes, and those few times an actual child gets to express his/her views they get ridiculed or ignored in the comment section. Try reading the "Kids React" video comment sections. urgh. Sometimes I have commented, that's nice, thank you for sharing your opinion. " Have you asked for the target audience's opinion? Of course not, their opinion isn't important. Getting to spout your views and being an ass to others, that's what it's all about online. *reflects on his own perspective comments...*

Because I am a disgusting pedo who gets a kick at staring at kiddies in videos online? Ahem, no it's interesting to see what children think, and to indulge in nostalgia. Their unique take on stuff from my youth is sometimes a bit difficult to swallow but interesting.

Pssst, don't tell anyone, while I would not dream of looking at actual child porn, (way too risky and morally questionable) I have occasionally watched harmless videos of actual children swimming for example. Yikes! Burn the pedo! And, if it isn't obvious by now, part of the reason I even watch kids programs is to get a boner dreaming up sexual stories of the characters. It's amazing what a perverted mind can do with seemingly innocent content. Ruuun!
No seriously, I don't mind admitting this from the relative safety of this site, but don't blab it about. Please. It also helps, that I am not only one like that around here. I wonder how many would dare to admit this, even here?

I am aware of that. But unless you or I blab, or someone hacks the place this is a relatively safe spot. A fellow pedo's gallery few look at.. On a site full of perverts.
Meh, I guess some people suspect it already. Atm I am not going to openly admit irl. Yet? Don't wanna deal with the resulting shit storm. Perhaps I am not mature enough yet... LOL
