Consider it open source. I'd consider it a public service announcement!

Nice reference to Bullwinkle!

I had to look up your reference- a Dudley Do-Right episode?! But no, life among humans with limited attention to detail and curiosity is my reference. Thanks for the fun diversion. :)

It's from a regular throw-away between episode segments of "Rocky and Bullwinkle," like between Dudley and "Fractured Fairytales," where Bullwinkle is holding a newspaper saying: "I see it here in the newspaper, so it must be true!" For an enjoyable reminiscence of youth: https://www.amazon.com/Stink-of-Fear-Chapter-One/dp/B086VXVRXG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=MRUT0MLCW1G1&keywords=rocky+and+bullwinkle+prime+video&qid=1648380027&sprefix=rocky+and+bullwinkle+pri%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-2

All seasons seem to be out there. It's classic. Sooner or later, you'll come across what I'm talking about.

The plots are probably a bit more sophisticated than what you might find, these days. Even at 10 yrs old, or so, I caught on to what "tongue in cheek" was all about. "Boris & Natasha" are also prominent in this Cold War Era production.
