Rob Schackne #35 - Casus Belli

Casus Belli, A Slight Misunderstanding


The last war in Disneyland started when
Mary Poppins let off a few angry rounds
Mickey dives for cover, Minnie grabs an M-16
The tourists head for Goofy (lost it completely)
They then circle back around to Yosemite Sam
Who thunders Send them varmints to tarnation!
Elmer Fudd quickly breaks out his rifle collection
Daffy (in his element) looks for better defilade
Beep-beep says Road Runner this one's for you asshole!
Heckle and Jeckle are conducting some aerial recon
Unca Donald's ducks-in-diapers guerrillas move out
(Popeye and Olive Oyl are looking after the kids)
Then Tweetie Pie and Sylvester, in common cause
Suspend their misery, they get détente, they get cracking
Put down an RPG on the enemy flank (suddenly exposed)
Scrooge McDuck is furious at his helicopter throttle
The tourists rally forces and overcome the rebels
Bugs Bunny emerges from his position singing.

  1. This is wickedly funny and terrifying, Rob. You tapped the original energy of the animations/characters too.

  5. Thank you all for listening, or watching etc. Sure, the cartoons and the fantasies that as children made us laugh...and then, as Myron says, the fear, the madness, the imaginary threats and the terrifying American gun culture.
