They don't make cartoons like this anymore

I keep trying to think of excuses for using this photo in a blog post, but can't come up with one. So it's being posterized instead.

I took this in one of the elevators of the Parker Meridien in New York, where old school movies play in the elevators. (More info here: http://www.parkermeridien.com/liftrelease.htm )

On a related note, a colleague mentioned to me the other day that she had seen an old Tom & Jerry cartoon and the characters were smoking. SMOKING! Oddly, cartoon characters can still kill, maim, and otherwise dismember each other (e.g. Itchy & Scratchy) but they certainly can't smoke anymore.
