Now I've Seen Everything
Suicide gag in a Bob Clampett cartoon? Sure. A few of them had one. Here’s the one from “Sour Puss” (1940), featuring a cat that goes nuts over fish. He’s so crazy he kisses a mouse.

Same gag (with a fish instead of a bird) in, of all things, Clampett's adaptation of Dr. Seuss' "Horton Hatches the Egg."
ReplyDelete...and again with a cat, as the end gag for "An Itch in Time" (Tashlin would borrow it for "The Stupid Cupid", while compounding the gag by having the cat keep shooting himself through all nine of his lives).
DeleteMaybe I'm missing something, but I could never figure out why this particular gag got repeated so often, or the point of it.

Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the
same results.
Thanks, Anon. The ones in this post seem okay as I can see all of them. If you know of a specific post, let me know, and I'll check the coding.
DeleteOn the other blog, the frames sometimes don't load. I have to shut down the browser and try again, but this sounds like a different problem.
