If you’re solely into cartoons for the zany, off-the-wall hilarity, then you’re only getting half the picture. Go back and give them another once over for life lessons you didn’t know you needed. Zoom out a little bit. Open your third eye. The facts are right there on the page for you to see. That is what we did, and we’re all the better for it.
We knew that we’d learn a thing or two from a character named, “The Brain,” but Pinky really surprised us on this one. The Brain is a straight shooter, but Pinky — normally known for an undersized, dim light bulb — surprisingly enough had some roundabout nuggets of creative wisdom here. Meaningful advice on acceptance, career paths, healthy living, bean sprouts, and even mental health and depression were just a few of the 15 gems that were dropped on us by Pinky and the Brain.
