I grew up on the classic MGM Tex Avery and Warner Brothers cartoons. Armed with my chocolate milk and Cap'n Crunch, I spent many Saturday mornings devouring Bugs Bunny and Droopy schtick. No matter how many times I saw the toon, I still laughed as I do today.
'Diner Discord' is a throwback to those days of schtick when a simple problem can lead to an unexpected funny outcome.
