Rocko s Modern Life: Cartoons Coming out of the Closet - Slog

When did cartoons start going gay? Was it when Bugs married Elmer in Pick whatever milestone you want, but my favorite is a 1996 episode of Rocko’s Modern Life that made animation queerer than it had ever been before. At first glance, Rocko’s Modern Life looks like a cute little kids’ show a plucky wallaby getting into wacky hijinks with his friends but it’s loaded with (sometimes shocking) adult jokes and references that probably went way over the heads of the children in the audience, and likely quite a few adults as well. That includes an episode that seems as though it might be a metaphor for coming out of the closet, a topic that cartoons would have had to dance around in the ‘90s, and that Rocko was finally free to embrace upon its return via Netflix many years later.
