Fanny Zilch was a cartoon girl in 1930's Terrytoons which were musical spoofs of old melodramas. In these adventures she was pursued by the villainous Oil Can Harry and protected by the heroic Strongheart. The character of Fanny Zilch later became Pearl Pureheart in Mighty Mouse cartoons and Oil Can Harry became a cat archvillain in the same cartoons. Mighty Mouse, the signature character of the studio. ... Poster for The Perils of Pauline (1914). ... A Mighty Mouse poster. ...
As soon as Fanny kicked into top gear on the road to Mount Gambier it became chillingly obvious that the sun may be bright but it radiated little warmth at 110 kph.
Willalooka came, and went in a blink (I dont think it even had an 80 kph sign and I only mention it in case one of my readers happens to be a native of the place), followed by Padthaway.
I walked down to Less garage, where Fanny had spent the night on the pick-up trailer and arrived, damper than when I started, to find that hed already been down to the bike shop but they werent open.
