Getting Burned

Hey, how about a good, old-fashioned crotch burning?

In I Wish I Had Wings (1932), a thieving black chick (well, his mother was a hen) does it to a scarecrow chasing him, thanks to a convenient gas torch. Hey, the scarecrow’s just doing its job!



The charred scarecrow doesn’t stick around to find out why cartoon producers had a fetish for crotch and butt violation gags. He gets out of there.



So long, folks!



Ham Hamilton and Paul J. Smith are the animators for Rudy Ising, with Frank Marsales picking up the tempo for a quasi-jazzy score at the end.
