J-BAR #18287 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 A close friend did his PhD thesis in Communications on comparisons of old cartoons; Popeye, Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, and Bugs Bunny. Bugs was his favorite because of the variety of story lines and the "edginess" of Warner Brothers cartoons in general. I admire anyone who can get a PhD in cartoons!

I have a close friend with two Ph'd Doctorates, an MA in Education and a couple of other lesser degrees. After a short career in government service, he began teaching; troubled and developmentally challenged kids. His favourite class is Woodworking.

So, did he do it watching cartoons, drinking beer and eating pizza? Please, PLEASE, tell me he did.
J-BAR #18287 Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 I suspect he enjoyed every minute of his research! I read his dissertation, it was actually very elegant. He examined the cartoons in relation to the culture of the times; quite intellectual. His work at the technical college was aimed at marketing. His students were producing radio and television commercials, practical stuff. After a couple of beers he enjoyed telling the story about being an Air Force officer in southern California and making friends with some Hell's Angels. While driving on a freeway with a new girlfriend, a group of them pulled beside his car on their motorcycles and handed him an open beer bottle through the driver's window. He took a pull and handed it back. She never went out with him again.
