Cartoons don't really portray real life at all, I've discovered.
I was watching an old one, Magilla Gorilla, and it occurred to me..How unrealistic is this.
Now, I don't go pet stores a lot, due to my ineptitude towards caring for anything that needs me to feed it, but I'm pretty sure that not one of them has, or ever will, stock a full grown gorilla. Let alone a talking one with a bowtie. And he's been there for as long as I can remember!!
That Mr. Peebles must be a very , very bad business man if he doesn't realize the value of that ape.
