Linda was a tiny bit sad today to hear that cartoon artist Alexander Anderson Jr. died. He was the man who created Rocky the flying squirrel and Bullwinkle, the slightly dumb moose. When Linda was 5 or 6 years old, her Mommy got very sick and almost died. She spent months in the hospital recovering. Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons became Linda's "woobie". She watched it everyday and would throw a fit if she had to miss it when her Dad went to visit Mae in the hospital and she had to go to a babysitters house. When her Mom finally came home, she got a Bullwinkle toy just like this one.
