There are cartoons that just end inconclusively (<em>Yippee Coyote</em>), cartoons with a here-we-go-again finish (<em>Six Gun Spooks</em>), cartoons where he wins but is done in by his own ineptness (<em>Sagebrush Brush</em>, <em>Dizzy Desperado</em>). This is one where he does everything right and still loses. Since Quick Draw's a likeable character, it's a crappy way for the cartoon to finish.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-71976692062148597882011-04-25T09:58:40.191-07:002011-04-25T09:58:40.191-07:00The Quick Draw cartoons as a whole seem an indirec...The Quick Draw cartoons as a whole seem an indirect knockoff of several 1950s cartoons- particuarly the two Westerns- Mike Maltese wrote for Chuck Jones that depicted Daffy as a would-be hero done in as much by his own misplaced self-confidence than any tangible villian. Completing the equation is the much-smarter sidekick. Granted, Quick Draw is more purely 'stupid' than Daffy while Baba is more practical and less sarcastic than Porky. But the parallels seem clear.<br /><br />Sundown Sam recalls Droopy's meek, seemingly harmless manner- though he's much more verbose and aggressive.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-54673204299936870342011-04-23T15:58:58.826-07:002011-04-23T15:58:58.826-07:00Warners used this type of twist ending a couple of...Warners used this type of twist ending a couple of times, pre-Maltese, in 1934's "Those Were Wonderful Days" and 1935's "Little Dutch Plate", where the abducted damsel at the end of the story decides she's rather be with the bad guy when he gets waylayed by the hero (Pierce was at Warners at least by the time the latter cartoon was made and might have had a hand in it, but WB wouldn't start giving story credits for another two years).<br /><br />Even with the less-jokey 1930s storylines, I actually liked the endings of those two cartoons better than this, because the heroes in both those shorts were pretty much humorless stiffs you didn't care about. Here, Quick Draw pretty much takes it throughout the entire cartoon, and ends up with a punch in the snout as a reward. In contrast in "The Dover Boys", before the triple KO of the three young jerks we get we get to see Dora the Destroyer wreck havoc on Dan Backslide.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-38439192357457216432011-04-23T13:08:36.301-07:002011-04-23T13:08:36.301-07:00It seems that the layout on this Quick Draw McGraw...It seems that the layout on this <i>Quick Draw McGraw</i> episode was done by Dick "Bick" Bickenbach.rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-36744810460210210742011-04-23T11:04:44.186-07:002011-04-23T11:04:44.186-07:00You can tell how earlier this is, not just by Sall...You can tell how earlier this is, not just by Sally's full name but by Quick Draw's response...no "ooh, that smarts". Also, Sagebrush Sally is hot.:) The hammy sad music, use din this and in the Augie one done last week, definitely fits better, I admit than under a siught of Doggie Daddy, since here it's done for the same campiness. <br /><br />"Winter Tales" was never used so often in an HB cartoon, as in this one, and it's one of the onl;y cues that was equally used both in Huck and Quick Draw, along with TC-205 Light Movement (not used in this cartoon), though seems that "Winter Tales", despite one more Yogi short, "Do or Diet", picking it up, went straight to the "Quick Draw" series. <br /><br />Finally, having Don Messick do that meek "Ruff and Reddy" Pink Elephant/Professer Gizmo voice for a VILLIAN is definitely hilarious.:)SJChttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001249396142noreply@blogger.com
