Medical Conditions of Cartoon Characters

Medical Conditions of Cartoon Characters

By Elton Camp

Barbie and Ken look just right
Cartoon characters are no delight
There is old Porky Pig, if you please 
Obviously he has Parkinson’s disease

And just as soon as you see her 
You know Olive Oyl has anorexia 
Attention deficit disorder has Daffy Duck
Unless he’s treated, he’ll be out of luck

Elephantiasis afflicts sailor Popeye
His arms and legs you can tell it by
Pepe LePew suffers from sexual addiction
Of that fact, there can be no contradiction

Then there’s Sylvester the black & white cat
A severe lisp surely makes him talk like that
There are others who’ll doubtless come to mind
Whose bad medical problems it isn’t hard to find

"What's up, Doc?" Mr Magoo's near blind. Wile E Coyote suffers lots of trauma chasing Road Runner. Mickey Mouse's ears are way too big. Fun, fun.

Yes, and so does Donald Duck. I never understand a word he says. Thanks for reading and commenting. Elton
