It's all part of a disturbing trend.

ER — 7/10/2006 3:20:19 PM (archived)

Do you notice how Popeye, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse have girl friends, but are not married? They have nephews but no kids? There was probably a very high-level executive decision made to set it up this way, I'd like to know the reason why. No doubt there is a sinister reason for it. And what about this four-fingered hand thing?
