Sachmo on the Run

The head of Louis Armstrong, superimposed from live action, turns into a cartoon head, which turns into a cartoon African native chasing Koko in I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead You Rascal You (1932).



Bimbo bashes the native, turning him into four garbage cans that he jumps on. The chase carries on in the next scene.



Willard Bowsky and Ralph Somerville get animation credits in this Betty Boop cartoon from the Fleischer studio.

  1. If you listen closely, you can hear Armstrong say "You a mother****er, boy" during "You Rascal You" while that chase goes on. Not kidding.
