Flint's Vacation

Flint visits his cousins in Pleasant Cove, an experimental community secretly owned by Cobra. He soon finds out that they, along with the town's entire population, are television-brainwashed slaves of Cobra, and if captured, Flint may be joining them.

"Now you know. And knowing is half the battle." The Sunbow run closed every episode with a public-service spot delivered by a Joe character, addressing kids on a real-world hazard or virtue. The cartoon's deeper ethic, threaded into the writing across the run, was that Cobra's worldview was based on fear and the Joes' was based on responsibility.
