And the only one you've got.

Synopsis

Mindy, Buttons and her family are on a boat tour of the Amazon River in South America. Mindy gets off the boat to chase a moth, and once again, it is up to Buttons to protect her from all harm without getting harmed himself.

Trivia

  • The title is a reference to the line "Up a lazy river" from the Hoagy Carmichael song "Lazy River".

Transition

All the Warners are drawing pictures in Dr. Scratchasniff's office, however they are all blank. Dot's blank picture is of "The Eiffel Tower in Italy", Wakko's is of "a cow eating grass", Yakko's is the next cartoon.

Synopsis

The Goodfeathers go to an ocean barge for some food, but Pesto gets caught in a plastic bottle holder.

Trivia

  • The title is a vocalization of the finale from the "William Tell Overture" by Rossini, as well as the punchline to the classic joke, "Where does the Lone Ranger go to throw away his garbage?".
  • The Warners cameo in a continuation of their literal running gag of being chased by Ralph.

Wheel of Morality

The moral of today's story is: "The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind...except in New Jersey where what's blowing in the wind smells funny."
