The Stoned Ape Theory

By -



Terence McKenna, courtesy of Sarah McDaniel and the Movie Mountain crew.  Mr. McKenna believed that ingesting hallucinogenic 'shrooms is what developed the modern human brain and consciousness.  This superior stop motion film is a riot.  I think him dead wrong, although the theory is unprovable it is clever and by no means impossible.  However, I maintain the rocks were what developed the human mindset, either by being hit with them or hitting others with them.  He does sound like he was a fun guy to hang with, and not the least because he probably had the best weed available.  Timothy Leary thought highly of him, huge surprise there.  I am all about anthro rabbits and this bangs the right side of the Funny Bunny meter!

    I'm a stop motion fan and this is very well done. When I first saw this, I knew it was the voice of some drug guru but I had never heard of Mr. McKenna. I knew it wasn't Tim Leary because the voice was not his. So I got on the net and searched without a name and found him pretty quick. He sounds like he was quite a guy but his theory is just made for levity, although he might, just might, be onto something. I don't think there was enough psylocibin available to make that sort of difference to our brains wiring and design. Also, he was not a doctor of science so that reduces his theory to the category of 'no better than mine', and I can prove my Rock Theory with the nearest loose brick!

Abandoned Cat (Sute-Neko Tora Chan)

Abandoned Cat Little Tora, 1947. A family finds an abandoned kitten and takes it in.  But one of the children is jealous of the attention shown to the newcomer and runs away.  In 1947 war orphans were everywhere in Japan. Directed by Kenzo Masaoka.   https://youtu.be/d_nN0_DZPHw       A dream of domestic bliss.   https://youtu.be/-6toCCKMBqo   This ends with the family all together as one on a Christmas, decorated tree and everything.   https://youtu.be/cF4qS1iQ-Gs       What is conspicuous is the lack of a father.  I guess at this time so many Japanese families had their fathers and sons gone that this cartoon designed to comfort and to empathize with those bereft.  In that regard this is a very sad movie, very well made. Life is far too marvelous to be squandered in war. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/

The Cockroach Union and Waterbugs Protective Association

      Hi Guys! I'm back with some more anthro bug weirdness courtesy of Peterman's Roach Food!   This stuff was designed to kill cockroaches and other insect vermin way back in the early 1900s !  It came in a bright red tin covered with microscopic pictures that tell a most distressing story !  Seems that the bugs are up in arms because something is killing them off !  They have formed a " protective association " and are marching in protest kind of like Coxey's Army !           But it's no good !  All that marching has worked up the bugs' appetites !  So they check in to chow down on some of that delicious " roach food ."  Too bad it's poison !  One by one, the roaches eat the tainted feast and they croak , right there on the package !     Man, that's tough !  But I guess if you've got cockroaches marching around in your kitchen , this is how you deal with them !   ...

Two Different Dragons

  I'm not sure if these dragons are considered "anthro" or "furry"(although they both have a little fur)-but they are both intelligent creatures!  Haku from Spirited Away- He is an eastern dragon with a wolf-like head and white fur/scales and green mane. He can transform into a human boy when he chooses-plus he is also a river spirit/guardian. He never speaks in his dragon form but he is a very intelligent creature. If you have not seen this classic Studio Ghibli movie, please do so! Falkor the luck dragon is from the 1984 movie The Neverending Story. In the original book illustrations, he had the look of a Eastern dragon with a lion's head. In the movie,he had the long body of an Eastern dragon but with a dog-like face. Either way,he is a positive creature who encourages the hero Atreyeu throughout the film. " Believe and good luck will find you"
