Wonderfully absurd escapes from mortal danger in the original G.I. Joe cartoon

Wonderfully absurd escapes from mortal danger in the original G.I. Joe cartoon. - By Adrian Chen - Slate Magazine: "Through a combination of terrible aim, superhuman jumping ability, and impossibly reliable parachutes, every combatant escaped even the most dire of situations without so much as the angle of his beret askew. The G.I Joe series is an ode to the improbable escape, and the thrill of the violence comes not from the possibility of death but from the zany ways the Joes and Cobras avoid it."
