Happiness for Cynics podcast

Join Marie and Pete this week as they discuss a recent study that shows the best ways to improve your wellbeing and happiness.

Show notes

During the podcast, Marie and Pete discuss a few cartoons but are unsure of some of the details. Here is some information on those topics.

Mighty Mouse (1942)

Mighty Mouse is an American animated anthropomorphic superhero mouse who was originally called Super Mouse, and made his debut in the 1942 short The Mouse of Tomorrow. The name was changed to Mighty Mouse in his eighth film, 1944’s The Wreck of the Hesperus. He also appeared in the British nursery comic Bimbo circa 1968, in what appear to be brand new stories created for the pre-school readers of that title.

Roger Ramjet (1965)

Roger Ramjet was an animated children’s comedy series created in the United States and first running in 1965, but frequently in syndication since. Starring Roger Ramjet and the American Eagle Squadron, the show was known for its crude animation as well as its references to popular culture.

Wacky Races (1968)
