Liquidator is always a connoisseur for good business and knows the best marketing strategies more than other competitors. It doesn't matter if he's a water mutant, business is still business, and he still has advertising deals that grant him money! And how easy does this get! All he had to do was change the pH of his nose to make it glow red, and put on some reindeer antlers and BOOM! He made lots of sales on his treasured water bottles!
I've heard rumors this scene was edited for syndication for later airings, but I just looked at my old files for the Toon Disney 2001-2004 run ((indicated by the style of channel in the corner)), as seen in comparison here, and this remains intact there at least, so I dunno when it was supposedly pulled, but I do know that Toon Disney did edit episodes before, so I guess it depends in the climate at the time.
I know I usually just focus of QuackerJack content most of the time, but can we take a moment to acknowledge how freaking dark this sequence was?
One of many reasons this show wouldn't fly well in today's climate I think.
