GUEST,David Gerstein Folklore: Bosco Jingle, Bosko Cartoon & Slang (43) RE: Folklore: Bosco Jingle, Bosko Cartoon & Slang 28 Jun 10

Azizi, you refer to your "theory that [Bosko] was depicted as an unsophisticated, rural, and even uncouth person."

He is definitely unsophisticated, but generally no more so than Mickey Mouse. The cartoons weren't afraid to show Bosko running businesses, accomplishing heroic feats and beating white bad guys for the hand of his black girlfriend, Honey.

Here's BOSKO'S PICTURE SHOW, where Bosko finishes by taking the villain's head off... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTLp5fASNkc
