catillac cats
my boss matthew recently told me i shouldnt hang out with my friends because they were riff raff. he then paralleled them to the catillac cats, of the heathcliff cartoon series that aired on saturday mornings in 1984. i couldnt remember very much of it, other than they lived in a garbage dump and got into mischief and had a cadillac. after some investigation, i have found out a lot about the series and really wish i could watch an episode. ive managed to see the intro to the show.
its clear that matthew was right.
im definitely cleo. look at that hair...
"Cleo was Riff Raff's girlfriend and unlike Sonya, she wasn't a total
bitch. Cleo loved Riff Raff's capering and she often took part in it.
She was also fairly sarcastic and would usually mock him when he fucked
up."
"Cleo was a member of the Catillac Cats, a street-tough gang of junkyard
cats led by the suave and cunning Riff Raff...Cleo was Riff Raff's girlfriend. She didn't
live in the alley with the other cats. She lived at a music store--a
woman of privilege. The music store she lived in was guarded constantly
by a hairy sheepdog named Bush...in a way, Riff raff and Cleo's relationship was a metaphor for all
men's relationships: Riff-Raff always had to get past...um... Bush...to
get to Cleo."
hysterical!
riff raff is clearly jacob.
you can tell by his pimp hat and pimp scarf.
suave and cunning, hes the leader of the group.
"Being of such short stature, Riff Raff wasn't quite as tough as
Heathcliff. But Riff Raff didn't need to be tough; he was streetwise,
quick, and crafty. Besides, whenever things got really rough, his three
best bros were always there to back him up."
hector
wordsworth and
mungo are not as easily discernable
id say that matty g was probably hector and andy was probably wordworth.
rachael and rj are the only people who read this blog that know who these people are in real life, so i guess im addressing this post at them, and at anyone who enjoys saturday morning cartoons.
