That sailed over my head into the second deck.
No Goooollll!!! Not even close.
Did ya hear about the guy who’s half black and half Japanese? Every December 7th he attacks Pearl Bailey!
Then she goes and dies. Ruined my favorite stupid joke.
Today’s Heathcliff:
Okay, there’s a pretty good chance of knowing Kermit, even if it isn’t a great drawing. And they might recognize “that singing frog” even if they don’t know his name is Michigan J. Frog. But who the hell instantly recogizes Freddie the Frog from New Zoo Revue? That’s a deep cut!
Me! I did! And his friends were Henrietta Hippo and Charlie the Owl!
Among others.
This is the first I’ve heard of New Zoo Review. So those are jokes that don’t work on an out-of-touch geezer crowd either.
Wiki informs me they ran during my high school plus first year of college era. It’d be easy to miss a show aimed at little kids during that chapter of my life. Not having much younger sibs helps.
Who is the little frog in front? And for a group headed out for ‘boy’s night’, they don’t seem too happy!
Apparently Jimmy.
And Jimmy is…?
Thank you, I’m not a Heathcliff aficionado.
You might be more familiar with Jimmy’s older brother, Reginald. It was tragic what happened to him…
Damn, that Emmy Jo was a cutie.
Doug, not so much. Also, the two of them were married in real life (Doug and Emmy Jo, not either of them to Freddie).
Although you never know - Freddie was a poly-wog heyooooo
I have no idea where I had previously seen this, but I would have sworn it was a “Far Side.”
National Lampoon - probably their most famous cartoon.
They still are. They’re both still with us, and do occasional live streams on the New Zoo Revue YouTube channel.
Yes, there’s a New Zoo Revue YouTube channel. How I know this is none of your business. 
“New Zoo Revue” also got a shout-out on MST3K in “Teenagers From Outer Space” when the short, stout man appeared, probably a reference to Mr. Dingle.
And the website Heeb was originally subtitled The New Jew Review.
I briefly thought that might be Lady Aberlin.
