It has come to my attention that a virtual civil war has broken out concerning the animal names used in the Aesop segment of the March 26, 1961 Bullwinkle Show. During the heyday of this Ancient Greek dude, only a few animals had been discovered by Mankind. Consequently, Aesop--being a prolific tale teller--tried to construct a fable about every possible pairing of these various critters. When he'd used up all of the possibilities, he began redoing the duos, simply listing the featured animals in reverse of his original title. This, of course, has led to centuries of confusion, conflict and friction about Aesop's fiction. No one has figured out the correct title for the fable included here. Hound or sheepdog? Fox or wolf? Which is first, which last? Search me.

One part of this program is highly contentious.
