Maybe John Kricfalusi is onto something...

Look at this clip from the latest Powerpuff girls series: 0:46.



Now look at this clip from The Pink Panther 2006: 1:25

See the problem here?  As the decades go by, it seems that cartoon violence gets toned down, to the point of not being funny.  That goose being slapped by a fox?  Any one could walk it off, barely feel a thing.  But the Pink Panther clip, that actually felt like a real slap, there was impact and force to it, therefore helping the comedy of the scene.  John Kricfalusi was right, we as a species are growing weak and weak as time goes on...
