Cartoon character knockoffs greeted you on the side.
Say "hello" to Woody Daffy Duck Pecker and Bob's Porky Pig Boy. Or maybe Bat Boy. Or a toddling Freddy Krueger.
You were supposed to run in place, like this:
I had better luck on all fours...
Soon I'd be heading for the swings.

totally remember the hamster wheels! the one i remember was near a snake park and I was traumatized because they fed bunnies to the snakes!
I especially love that last illo.
Linda Prescott, that's even worse than the fun house.
Hi Linda P.
Did they feed bunnies to snakes in front of kids? That's creepy!
Hi Linda D.
The last illo was added as an afterthought. I figured a departure from the rolling barrel gags was in order.
Great illustrations and sequence!
For some reason, I was always annoyed but yet captivated by cheesy (and hurriedly)-drawn/painted rendtitions of cartoon characters we knew and loved on certain signs. It always made you feel you could do so much better than that!
I sooo much loved the illustrations. The last one's got sweet punch line to it.
Thanks, Mike.

You can usually recognize the character, yet they're disturbingly off. It's the Uncanny Valley of cartoons.
Thanks, Boodababy!
