Walt Kelly had a genius for lines like that - masterful understatement was part of his writing style. And yeah, that line in particular is a good one. I haven't seen him in the Disney ride, but you're probably right - he's been toned down a lot in recent years. Still, his full name was for many years 'Panchito Pistoles' (which is bad Spanish; I'm pretty sure it should be PistolAS, but whatever), so you can hardly blame the guy. You should see him in the movie - he's one trigger-happy fellow.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
