- Why is there any issue with nudity in TTA? In Loon Lake, just
- after Shirley changed her clothes in full view, the swans were
- completely nude and no one commented.
-
- In Bacon Strip, which was introduced as a story from the Acme
- Acre Zone, I saw the nudity issue as being the strangeness of
- the Acme Acre Zone.
-
- As I see it, Toons can wear clothes if they want to, not
- because they have to. Even the LT characters who appear in TTA
- seem to follow this rule. Bugs Bunny has always been nude,
- except when he was in some sort of disguise. He's still nude
- when he shows up in TTA.
-
- When compairing Babs, Shirley, & Fifi, Babs always has
- something on. At the very minimum, that I have seen, was Babs
- in a bikini. Shirley, like Buster, mostly just wears a shirt.
- and I have always seen Fifi nude. ( One exception, when she
- was trying to see Jonny Pew in HISMV )
-
- For cartoons in general, the theme seems to be that human
- characters wear clothes, zoomorphs can do what ever they want,
- or what their animators want, and animal characters can
- sometimes wear clothes.
-
- So why does this even become an issue. I saw Shirley change
- from her tutu to her normal shirt. So what? The're all toons!
