Was Looney Tunes ever Looney Toons?. Top Story - September 2023.
Tunes or Toons-that is the question Did you ever write Looney Toons instead of Looney Tunes or see the name spelled both ways? I know I have and at times I still find myself spelling it T-O-O-N-S. If you were thinking like me we were in error because the name has always been Looney T-U-N-E-S. Perhaps we all got confused because of the word cartoons not being cartunes. The reason the name for the beloved animated shorts is spelled this way is so that it was similar to other cartoons of the era and it was all about music, harmonies, and melodies.

Leopold Syndrome is real
Humans are respecters of titles As I read Michelle Petties's story The Pastor Needs a Plate it stirred up my own memories of how some church denominations treat the spiritual leader as if he is above and beyond others and that he is the Supreme Being he is supposed to be leading others to. I had an encounter about 5 years ago at a local K&W Cafe that came to mind after reading this story.

Hillman College made an impression Now that A Different World can be seen on Max (Formerly HBO) I have watched each episode of the 6 seasons about the students at the fictional Hillman College many times over during the past year. Hillman was supposed to be located somewhere between Richmond and Hampton Roads Virginia and Debbie Allen was brought on in season 2 so that the series would have more of the look and feel of an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).
