Smoke Gets In Your House

Wally Walrus figures he can stop smoke (created by Woody Woodpecker burning trash) from coming through the wall of his house by covering it up with a painting.



No, that doesn’t solve the problem. Things get surreal instead. The smoke starts coming from the stack of the train on the painting.



Here’s Wally’s take, as directed by Dick Lundy. All on ones.



The capper is the train in the painting starts moving and Woody’s on the train.



Paul J. Smith animated the take, but Grim Natwick and Stanley Onaitis get the rotating animation credits on this cartoon, 1946’s Smoked Hams from the Walter Lantz studio. Jack Mather plays Wally.
