Who remembers this guy?


Its Captain O.G. Readmore the talking nautically dressed cat who popped in on a cartoon break to tell you to read. It was part of a PSA on American TV for a hot second in the 80s. My sister and I have been looking for his “read more books” song since we saw it the first time.
Lyrics:
I eat books from cover to cover, oh yes ma’am I’m a real book lover, I get nutrition from science fiction, literature was my favorite treat, that is until I learned to read.

And the rest I don’t remember.

Care Bears
Gummy Bears
Smurfs
and Inspector Gadget were my favorites.
Any Looney Tunes, any day.
But Saturdays were cartoon fests from 6 am until noon when the Pat Roberston show came on. Then we switched to wrestling.

Captain Penny was the local version of Captain Kangaroo. We would watch him then go down for nap time.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool Mom. She’s pretty nice and she’s pretty smart. If you do what Mom says you won’t go far wrong.”
Captain Penny’s Rule (closing every episode)

This was the main one for me and most Dutch folks my age. De Fabeltjeskrant, or the newspaper of little fables. Five minutes, five days a week, for ten years or so, right before children’s bedtime. Mr. Owl reading from the paper about the happenings in the Big Wood of Animals, like Misses Stork, Miss Ant, The Hamster Sisters, Louis the Fox and Bor the Wolf.
