As kids, my siblings and I much enjoyed The Rocky & Bullwinkle animated TV series. One of the segments in the show was the ongoing saga of Dudley Do-Right.
"Dudley Do-Right is a dim-witted, but conscientious and cheerful Canadian Mountie who is always trying to catch his nemesis Snidely Whiplash, more often succeeding by pure luck than anything else. He romantically pursued Nell Fenwick, the daughter of Inspector Fenwick, the head of the Mountie station." [from the Wikipedia article]
My late brother, The Captain, was inspired by this when he wrote this postcard to me back in 1998.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I know you taught me to be evil and mean is the real joy in life but Dudley keeps rescuing Nell from the tracks and I am really getting depressed. I am thinking of giving up evil to open a beauty shop: "Whiplash Eyelash So Fast." What do you think? Should I give meanest one more try?
