In Half-Pint Pygmy, George is reading the paper while Junior is playing jacks. Junior leans in to read the headline.
The paper jokes about the frequent rain in California, which Californians (and radio comedy writers) of the day denied.
George’s attention is caught by the pygmy and the dollars to be made from his capture. Here are some of George’s expressions.
In this 1948 cartoon, Tex Avery borrows an idea from Porky in Wackyland (1937), with the hero going to Africa to capture something for a huge reward. (His version of Wackyland showed up The Cat That Hated People, also 1948).
Louie Schmitt, Walt Clinton, Grant Simmons and Bill Shull (all ex-Disney) are the animators. Pat McGeehan is George. I don’t know who’s playing Junior.
This looks like Walt Clinton's animation to me, Yowp.
ReplyDeleteHey,when did Bongo and Br'er Bear team up?
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't ask why the California Sun's front page is inside their paper.
California weather is an even less appealing subject today. Nothing but drought and brush fires.
ReplyDeleteI liked George and Junior better as dogs.
