Made-up Diseases in Cartoons

No mention of The Flintstones' "Dippy-Doodle-Itus," which was used as an excuse for Fred, Barney, and all the other Water Buffalos to attend the Frantic City convention ("a three-day rest away from home")--until that Doozy Dodo wised up Betty and Wilma.

Or the Dino-Peptic germ in which all Dino had to do was sleep for 3 days, while everyone else had to keep Fred awake and active for 72 hours when all he wanted to do was sleep (everyone thought Fred had the Dino-Peptic germ in just another typical Flintstones misunderstanding.)
