Avery's spot gags during the cartoon overall are probably a little sharper, but the Mr. Kitzel-based ending is weaker (in part because it's less cynical) than the one Freleng and Michael Maltese came up with.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-42198781371768070922014-12-16T14:46:52.312-08:002014-12-16T14:46:52.312-08:00Aside from Johnny Johnsen being credited for backg...Aside from Johnny Johnsen being credited for backgrounds, some of these however, like the close-ups of the shoes themselves often looked more like repainted photographs than actual painted backgrounds themselves, unless they used a lot of photo reference work in the process.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-86337290903662373742014-12-16T07:53:53.785-08:002014-12-16T07:53:53.785-08:0012/16/14

The third gag was an unexpected turn to park the car after the elf threw mud on his car in disgust. That was my favorite part when I saw this one as a child. The "cussing" elf was pretty funny too.
