Moospies

Spies can be anywhere, as America’s military members were told in the Snafu cartoon Spies (1943). Even the moose heads hanging above a bar are working for Adolf. These are consecutive frames. Look at what their antlers form.



Are these more of Bobe Cannon’s stretch in-betweens? This cartoon was made at Warners by the Chuck Jones unit.

  1. In the first frame especially the moose heads have a Seussian look.

    1. This was very early in the series, and Geisel/Seuss' influence was still strong. In another spot, where a horse hitched to a wagon is seen (the head flips up to reveal a Japanese spy), there's a very pronounced Seussian influence, even stronger than this one.
