A King in a Court of Fools - Seventeen Cartoons

Seventeen Cartoons is this week's episode in a King in a Court of Fools. I had some fun with this one. I remember how we used to go to the matinee Saturdays and they would show seventeen cartoons, but I never knew why they picked that number. Tom Ryan and the Caswell Gang has a few theories on that, and some other excitement you don't want to miss. Enjoy!
