Pieces of your childhood.

Edit: for jenai.

The 80s also saw Robotech in 1985.

One character of interest figured prominently during the Second Robotech War depicted in the Robotech Masters arc: Dana Sterling.

She is the daughter of Max Sterling and Miriya Sterling, heroes of the First Robotech War, and the sister of Maia Sterling. Miriya is a Zentraedi who was Micronized [converted from giant to human size].

Dana, as the offspring of the Max and Miriya Sterling, is one of the most dangerous and powerful Robotech warriors of all time.

As if any military brat is a pussycat.

^look jenai, i found some more of your old favourite saturday morning cartoons

[jenai]

Steamboat Willie is an animated cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse released on November 18, 1928. It was the third Mickey Mouse cartoon to be made, though the first with sound. Disney decided to use Pat Powers Cinephone system. It was released at New York's Colony theater and played ahead of the independent film Gang War. Steamboat Willie was an immediate hit while Gang War is all but forgotten today.

...

One of the striking things about Steamboat Willie is how violent and misanthropic Mickey is originally, in contrast to his later benevolence, kindness, and family-friendly appeal. Mickey's character closely followed the violent and sneaky character traits of other contemporary cartoons, and was only softened later when Disney moved towards a family-friendly animation empire. Because of the jarring contrast in characterization, the short is rarely shown in its entirety today when evoked by Disney for nostalgic or historical purposes. A full 30 seconds of scenes have been deleted from the original cartoon. A few of the cut scenes include Mickey pulling a cat's tail and then swinging the cat by the tail above his head, picking up a nursing sow and "playing" its teats like an accordion keyboard, and using a goose as bagpipes.

Yep, Steamboat Willie was pretty violent to cats, pigs and geese.

and on sundays if you complained about going to church you'd have to go out into the front yard (they didn't have condos back then) and cut a branch off so your father could whip your ass raw.

this was normal.
