Giddyup Chair

Not all the cartoons-between-the-cartoons on the Huckleberry Hound Show involved a circus. Here’s one set on a patio, with the background art by Fernando Montealegre.

Lounging Pixie and Dixie are apprised by Huck that a Pixie and Dixie cartoon is coming up. The meece quickly escape from Mr. Jinks.



Jinks slides into the scene and decides to rest in the patio chair. It closes on him. There are some good, simple expressions on Jinks.



Jinks won’t miss the cartoon, though. “Giddyup, chair!” he cries as the chair gallops in a little cycle with a clacking sound in the background.



I have no idea who animated this. It wasn’t one of the regular animators from the 1958-59 season so I’m presuming H-B Enterprises farmed it out. The characters are drawn with wide, open mouths, but not quite the way Carlo Vinci animated them.
