– Some would argue that the eleven "Road Runners" directed by Rudy Larriva between 1965 and 1966 are worse than the Deitch "T&J's."
– As far as "Dicky Moe," I'll take that one over another cartoon that ostensibly satirized "Moby-Dick" – the pitiful "Dopey Dick, The Pink Whale" starring Woody Woodpecker from 1957, another hack effort from hack director Paul J. Smith at Walter Lantz Productions.

I never liked the change in animation, sound effects, and slightly different humor.
