. . . for their FLINTSTONES cartoons, as well as pioneering the use of self-guided Scrotal Rocks in American Art, DAFFY DUCK AND THE DINOSAUR may not seem to offer much. However, it does broach the novel theory that animals that have become human prey may be responsible for the earliest instances of Representational Art--NOT Man, to whom Homocentric "experts" have attributed all the glory for this achievement. These animals' motives, as shown here by Daffy's Duck Decoys, is Self-Preservation. This notion is not as Looney as it sounds, and it could explain a lot. By now, everyone has heard of various Modern Day painting apes, elephants, and pandas--all held in Captivity. One thing that these Prisoners share in common is an appendage with which they can wield the Artist's Brush, such as an elephant trunk. Now try to picture a clumsy stegosaurus or a T-Rex with its teeny-tiny Trump-like hands doodling off the Mona Lisa. Pretty hard to imagine, isn't it? What IF humans were responsible for killing off all of our magnificent dinosaur friends, and this Fairy Tale about an Extinction Event Meteor is more of a hoax than Global Warming? DINOSAUR starts us down this train of thought, but of course it's OUR job not to get derailed by those espousing "Logic" and "Rationality," as what's sauce for the goose can baste ducks as well.
