I know he worked on "Wacky Races," and I suspect he worked on the original version of "Scooby" as well.<br /><br />TCJ, I'm going with Joe on this one though, to be honest, I think a better gag would have involved ink.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-59720686171780283692013-11-25T14:12:12.865-08:002013-11-25T14:12:12.865-08:00What ever happened to another MGM veteran animator...What ever happened to another MGM veteran animator Ed Barge, did he ever work at Hanna-Barbera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-7529949524590252742013-11-23T20:43:33.369-08:002013-11-23T20:43:33.369-08:00Nope, its ink, Steve.

Yeah,...Nope, its ink, Steve. I just re-watched it.<br /><br />Yeah, Joe, its a funny line, but ketchup or a similar red liquid would have been the more logical choice. Earlier, Huck was perceptive enough to see that the sheriff is taking advantage of him, but now believes he has water in place of plasma in his body? <br /><br />Unlike Yowp, I don't mind the mega-moron version of Huck-I just ask that his cranial capacity be kept consistent within the same cartoon.top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-19454622478886019502013-11-23T15:31:13.413-08:002013-11-23T15:31:13.413-08:00Ketchup might have been more of the traditional ca...Ketchup might have been more of the traditional cartoon choice, but the line: <i>“I couldn’t have lasted long anyways.

Oh, and another similarity, the final gag of one's head bumping on a tunnel roof while on a train can be found in the 1956 short which also had Daws Butler playing Jackie Gleason (and Art Cartney, in the first Honeymooners like cartoon done at least at WB), "Half-Fare Hare",starring you know who, and both times at the climax of the cartoons, too.SCPokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-21121433631049067512013-11-23T12:36:23.083-08:002013-11-23T12:36:23.083-08:00I'm seeing echoes of BOTH the train-Bugs-Sam s...I'm seeing echoes of BOTH the train-Bugs-Sam shorts that kickstarted Yosemite Sam's filmography AND "The Defiant Ones", the extended handcuffed characters-setup, with characters handcuffed [though sheriff-crook relationship, not two crooks handcuffed, but still two opposites] yet having conversations, in turn redone at Warners for a definitely darker Sylveser-(unnamed)bulldog short, in 1961.
