Crazy Spike

After a wonderful huge-eye take, Spike sputters as he attempts comprehend there are two Droopys and is ultimately driven crazy in Droopy’s Double Trouble.



There’s a story hole at the end. Spike calls out Droopy. Droopy appears. But so does twin brother Drippy. Drippy isn’t impersonating his brother during the cartoon, so why he’d appear when his name isn’t called?

Rich Hogan is the gagman, while the animation is handled by Grant Simmons, Walt Clinton and Mike Lah, who uses some of those same odd geometrical mouth shapes you can find in his Yogi Bear and Pixie and Dixie animation at Hanna-Barbera.

  1. When I check out "DROOPY'S DOUBLE TROUBLE", I just harken back to earlier Avery cartoons where the nemesis or uninvited pest or general main character is driven crazy by look-alikes of the "hero". One just assumes that, although it isn't implied, Droopy is just having a lot of fun driving Spike nuts to where he will end up running, goggle-eyed and tongue lolling, into the horizon.
