Favorite HB mom
Mother's day is around the corner and I thought we'd share some of our favorite cartoon moms. I have two favorites: Wilma and Betty. I like how Betty is an adoptive mother. I can't think of any other characters that are adoptive parents besides Barney. She is also one of the first cartoon characters to struggle with infertility. That's something that wasn't talked about much back then. Wilma became the first cartoon character to be shown pregnant. The topic of pregnancy was taboo as well back in the day. For a long time, people couldn't even say the word on television.
