Artie had been around animation maybe a little longer than he had.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-55487727955906205312010-10-31T18:44:11.289-07:002010-10-31T18:44:11.289-07:00I see what you mean, Joe.

None of that is shown on camera.<br />The Pixie and Dixie one is akin to Sylvester because Jinks insists the kangaroo is a giant mouse until the very end of the cartoon.<br /><br />Howard, that's the problem for me with the later HB cartoons. In some of them, the old gags just seem like old gags. In this cartoon, they're still distinctive enough.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-91636606075934312502010-10-31T10:23:19.505-07:002010-10-31T10:23:19.505-07:00Oddly, I never drew a parallel between this cartoo...Oddly, I never drew a parallel between this cartoon and the repetitive “Giant Mouse” ones – even when Pixie and Dixie did it – because the wildcat COULD have been a very tough version of the “Feline Domesticus”.<br /><br />In other words, it was not A DIFFERENT species of animal dumbly mistaken for something it was not. In this way, Maltese actually makes the “old plot” plausible! <br /><br />And, yes the “can gag” was a great touch!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-44239585266142542912010-10-31T06:50:08.059-07:002010-10-31T06:50:08.059-07:00The gag of a character originally in a suit of arm...The gag of a character originally in a suit of armor becoming a 'canned' version of himself originated in 1946's HAIR-RAISING HARE, written by longtime Maltese cohort Tedd Pierce. The Anthill Mob would suffer the same indignity in an episode of 1969's PERILS OF PENELOPE PITSTOP, whose principal writer was Maltese.<br /><br />Likewise a character being dragged uncontrollably all over the house by a rope has its genesis in 1948's MOUSE WRECKERS, also written by Maltese.<br /><br />Even if one recognizes gags and routines from older- and higher-budgeted theatrical shorts, they still manage to play off amusingly in the H-B cartoons thanks to the background score and studio SFX.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-33218565716370890012010-10-30T23:05:16.735-07:002010-10-30T23:05:16.735-07:00It's kinda, sorta, a little bit like the basic...It's kinda, sorta, a little bit like the basic plot for Sylvester's "Tree for Two", which Perez worked on for Freleng -- albeit the wildcat here causes problems in a 'gentler' way, since you couldn't do to Daddy what Friz did to Spike, even if you wanted to despite the limited animation budget, because you're supposed to like the character taking the pounding here. (Warner's also used the spinning-buzz-saw-to-show-violent-speed gag for Butch coming through the wall in Tashlin's "Brother Brat", but that was a one-off, and wasn't a running gag in the cartoon.)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-73025766430177169092010-10-30T20:38:29.880-07:002010-10-30T20:38:29.880-07:00That canned Doggie Daddy gag is the high point of ...That canned Doggie Daddy gag is the high point of the film.Of course, he can't say your catch phrase, but he's gotta million of others.[My pal Gumby and I just know this dog who can only one, Nopey, "Noh-ohpe!" but he's just as fun despite the supposed single-catch phrase just as much as you.]<br /><br />"Asinine"'s appearance at the open is eaisly memorable as well.<br /><br />The buzzsaw of yet another of Hanna-Barbera many commonest stock sound effects.<br /><a href="http://sjcarrasblog.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Blog</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001249396142" rel="nofollow">My FaceBook Page</a>Pokeyhttp://sjcarrasblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-71780067962903031022010-10-30T15:34:38.195-07:002010-10-30T15:34:38.195-07:00Gerry Chinniquy ended up at Hanna Barber as well, ...Gerry Chinniquy ended up at Hanna Barber as well, along with Ken Harris, but that was on 'Hey there Yogi bear'.<br /><br />This is the most I've read about Manny with Friz.
