I just noticed on a DVD movie trailer a warning if a movie contains foul language and SMOKING ! .....'Oh, I don't mind cussing, but someone lighting up a cigarette, THAT's different !

That's a huge misinterpretation. Honestly I think that just because a person smokes, it doesn't mean that that person is bad. (I go to a church, and two people I know of smoke outside.) On the other hand it is a pretty addictive habit. Some of things I learned about it is that it causes hair loss, rotten teeth, and messes up your lungs.

One person who disliked this cartoon must be a cigar snob.

this was not shown in syndication in the early 80's when a tv station showed all this "Modern Madcap" stuff/Harveytoons for many years!!!

And it just comes back to the issue of Money. Always money. You are right. (People are turning money into an Idol. Money is being worshipped.)
