There was a cartoon character when I was a kid called Snagglepuss. A pink lion who was known to say, “Exit, stage left!” when he got in trouble and wanted to make a quick getaway. He would also exclaim, “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” in exasperation. I feel like saying it now when I read about all the crazy stuff in the news about a certain Presidential candidate and how Russia and Wikileaks may be trying to interfere in our elections. It is so scary but I have faith that the US and her people will be all right in the end. But I would like to tell those who want to poke their noses in our business, please get lost, scram, and exit stage left or stage right,even.

Yes, we had pretty good cartoon characters back then. I liked Rocky and Bullwinkle too. 🙂

Loved Rocky and Bullwinkle. We passed that love onto our daughter who ended up with the VHS series.

I remember Snagglepuss clear as a bell. Thanks for adding humor and a hopeful perspective to an otherwise not funny situation.

It’s great to be reminded of old sayings. I remember Snagglepuss and my mother use to say Heavens to Murgatroyd!

Yes it is fun to remember and I think we all have good reasons to say “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” Thanks, J.C. 🙂
