The follow-up was basically a re-hash of the basic plot of the original, only taken outdoors. McKimson was smart not to beat a soon-to-be-dead horse into the ground with a series of repetitive efforts (and besides, he already had that base covered with his Sylvester-Hippety Hopper cartoons...)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
