Happy Mother's Day! Remember: Mother always knows best.
An image from the 1934 cartoon, “Jack Frost.” A mother bear has her child bent over her knee and has lifted his nightgown, revealing his bottom. Her hand is raised and… well, you know what happens next.

Screenshot of a newspaper from the film “The Devil Bat,” which reads, “Village Terrorized As New Bat Appears - A second monster bat had put in an appearance at Heathville. Striking suddenly from the sky the creature killed Henry Morton, partner of Martin Heath, whose two sons were slain by the first Devil Bat. The new Devil Bat is said by scientists to be the mate of the first monster."
