Chinatown by Iwerks

Ub Iwerks’ Flip the Frog cartoons may not have been all that funny, but they always have interesting background art. Here are a few frames from Chinaman's Chance (1933). We get some puns on the signs, such as “Aw, fooey!” and “Coming soon.”

Iwerks cartoons were sparse on credits. The background artists never were revealed on the title cards. Too bad.
