Today's Jungle Cruise Snoozles are a cut above the usual hippos and elephants - I almost feel guilty relegating them to a Sunday! Almost. This first one is dated "March 1961", and is a charming portrait of some Muppety-looking lions chowing down on a nice juicy zebra (because of my clipped British accent, when I say "zebra", it rhymes with "Debra". Classy, right?). The lion to the left thinks it tastes pretty gross, and would prefer a Double-Double from In-and-Out (with grilled onions). The vultures overhead serenade the lions with their beautiful song. "Gra-a-a-a-a-ak!". As a kid, and even now, the original gorillas that could be seen bobbing up and down in a threatening manner were my favorites. "Really? You like gorillas, Major? Prove it!". You'll just have to take my word for it. This photo is from May, 1960; I believe that there were two gorillas seen during the Cruise, but there should have been at least 50. As I've mentioned in the past, these fellows were eventually redressed…
