Pinky and Brain; Oh I mean Vinny and Danny; Sorry By John D. McKinnon, Jr.
One of my favorite cartoons as a young adult was Pinky and The Brain. For those not familiar with this animated gem, it was a spin-off from the 90's cartoon show, "Animaniacs." The shows key protagonists were two laboratory mice by the names of Pinky and Brain. As a result of a gene altering lab experiment, these mice were granted the ability to speak, reason and walk upright. With alternatives such as hunting for cheese and running from cats, it would seem this new liberation could be considered the pinnacle of a mouse's life. These mice however, had other plans and Brain specifically seemed hell-bent on world domination. Every episode Pinky would approach Brain and say something to the effect of, "What are we doing today Brain?" Brain's response was always, "The same thing we do every day Pinky, try to take over the World." Though the spooky, monotone voice Brain always responded with was convincing, his plans were always foiled. In fact he was lucky if they both made it out of their cage by the closing credits. Pinky and Brain were polar opposites in regards to personality and intelligence. Brain as his name suggests had supreme intelligence, while Pinky wasn't too bright. In fact, Pinky appeared to be a liability and it was unclear why Brain kept him around. Possibly it was for the company. Unfortunately, the show's last episode aired in the late 90s and my television watching experience had not been the same until recently.
