I was on-line just last week reading up on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and searching for Wootsamatta U. apparel. She had a long career. RIP.

Very sad. She was also on one of my favorite comedy records (yes, I had it as a record), "Stan Freeberg's History of the United States Vol. 1"

You're the only other one I have ever heard make that statement. Got mine circa 1958

99 years is just about the full ticket.

Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons are a vivid part of my youth. These cartoons were made as much for adults as for children.

It's nice to remember her for all the good times as a kid. Fractured Fairly Tales were great.

I especially enjoyed the puns. I remember an episode when they were looking for a missing crown belonging to a princess, the famous Tiara Boomdeay.
