And I'll quote a friend of mine, who in turn was quoting one of his professors when he said:
"Humor and horror are two sides of the same coin. If a guy slips on a banana peel, it's funny. If he slips on a banana peel and cracks his skull open, it's horror."

seriously though .. any kids cartoon .. think of tweety and sylvester ...
if there was blood everytime someone got hurt they would be the goriest horror movies of all times ..
groning certainly recognized it and wrote Itchy and Scratchy into the simpsons .. to be realistic.
Not an origional idea mind you .. i have a really old National Lampoon with the same thing .. a tom and jerry style cartoon where the violence ends in bloody dismemberment and death... even worse than itchy and scratchy
