Like most good cartoons, there was humor for both kids and the adults who got stuck watching with them. When I was a kid, an episode that ended with Inspector Fenwick going to jail for sinking the Lusitania (as a bathtub toy) sent my grandparents into hysterics. But the best was the series-long joke that had Nell in a secret love relationship with Dudley Do-Right's horse, named Horse, I believe. They could never wait to for Dudley to leave town so they could be alone. They made goo-goo eyes at each other and the cartoonists used red love hearts busting out of their chests to underline what had to be the longest running bestiality joke ever inserted into a children's cartoon. One more reason to love Jay Ward.
