This is Not Tex Avery

Paul Smith tries a Tex Avery-style eye-take in “Get Lost” when a dopey cat (Dal McKennon) sees a Marilyn Monroe calendar.



Gil Turner, Bob Bentley and Herman Cohen are the credited animators in this 1956 Walter Lantz cartoon.

    Reminds me of the takes in Casper cartoons.

    And it helps that he basically copied the Avery cat!

    Smith's work 1953-56 wasn't something legends are made of, but it was for the most part entertaining. The bottom drops out after that though (and about the time Lantz start working on Woody's TV show. Not sure if there's any correlation there, but the final 15 years of Smith's cartoons was a slog for viewers).

    I'd say that's Ray Abrams' work.
