How Not To Catch a Chicken

George tries to explain catching a hen using a leg-hold trap to Junior in the 1946 Tex Avery cartoon Henpecked Hoboes. Junior, just because he’s stupid, I guess, springs the trap early. See the expressions on George’s face, including multiple noses.



Someone will know if this is a Ray Abrams scene. Ed Love, Preston Blair and Walt Clinton are the other credited animators.

  1. One of my favorite scenes. Avery doesn't even bother to show us what Junior's up to; George's reaction (and tone of voice) says it all.

  2. This looks like a Preston Blair scene to me, Yowp.
