In the 1980s, a cartoon series called Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures was cancelled because of a scene where MM tried to smell a crushed flower, inhaling it into his nose; this was believed by some groups to be a cocaine reference.
The controversy was all due to one guy at the American Family Association who kept says it was cocaine sniffing, even though the higher-ups at CBS said the scene was OK and not drug use. And it wasn’t canceled due to this issue either. The episode came in the middle of season 1, and the show went on to create and compete a second season of episodes. Few cartoons last more than 1, 2 or 3 seasons.
Actually, dandelions are good for being harvested, cleaned, cooked and eaten. They can even be ground up, cooked in water and then fermented to make dandelion wine.
Maybe it’s just an artist thing; but it appears that Mr. Breathed has too much time on his hands. If the doctor was in, Lucy would tell him he needs involvement.

I have been treated by others like the dandelions in the lawn. Does that count?

You notice the weed-killer being sprayed on the dandelions – have we seen this person before??
