They pass over Bugs’ hole, realise their mistake, pull the brake lever, and then point in the right direction.
They follow Bugs as he jumps from hole to hole.
Oops! Bugs jumps into a golf hole instead. The rabbit helpfully marks it.
The bullets figure it out and proceed onward.
Oops! Now the bullets zoom into the wrong hole and zip out of the cartoon. We discover why. It’s the second skunk gag of the cartoon.
Virgil Ross gets the animation credit and Dave Monahan the story credit.
Until you get to the end, none of the gags in this cartoon are dependent on race, and would have fit just as easily in a Bugs-vs.-Elmer hunting effort -- and thanks to rotoscope, the log gag would do so in Bob Clampett's final Warners' cartoon. It's only the (static, and not funny) last gag that required the Stephin Fetchit-like hunter to be used, and ended up getting the whole thing banned.
ReplyDeleteThe final gag is the best - then again, I'm a product of my time - funny is funny, regardless of race, color or creed.
