Cartoon Rule 514: Skunks Smell

Today’s version of this ancient gag comes from Flip the Frog’s 1931 cartoon Laughing Gas. Flip is a dentist who, instead of using ether to put out his patient, comes up with another idea: a skunk.



The credits say the cartoon was produced and drawn by Ub Iwerks. There are some fun bits in this cartoon and Carl Stalling does a good job matching his score to the action with solo instrumentation.
