Why I Love Marvin the Martian

I read something on a forum tonight that made me think of the Looney Tunes character Marvin the Martian. That, in turn, reminded me of my favorite Marvin the Martian quote, which reminded me of why I love that zany character so much.

“Oh drat these computers, they’re so naughty and so complex. I could pinch them!”

I used to have this quote in a sound clip that my old Mac would play every time I made an error. That was back in maybe 1995. That quote, alone, is enough to make my love for the little guy burn strong even all these years later. Were truer words ever proclaimed?

I went on a little tangent looking for some Marvin related sites and found an entire fan site dedicated to Marvin. It is certainly worth a click. It’s where I realized Marvin will be 60-years-old on July 24.

Holy cow! Happy Birthday, you old fart.
