Hand Sandwich

Woody Woodpecker, on one side of a fence, turns Wally Walrus’ hand, on the other side of the fence, into a sandwich in The Dippy Diplomat (1944).



See the mustard change colour when it is held on a cel.



We never get to see the crunch. Director Shamus Culhane cuts from Woody to the reacting Wally.



Here’s one of those fly-into-the-sky/fire-alarm-bell things that Culhane loved. Look at the disgraceful DVNR on Wally’s right hand fingers in the last frame. It’s all over the place in the DVD version of this short.



Grim Natwick and Pat Matthews receive the animation credits on this cartoon, while Ben Hardaway and Milt Schaffer are the storymen. Backgrounds are by Fred Brunish (uncredited).

    I would have guessed that this would have been the "hand sandwich" scene from "Daffy's Southern Exposure."

    Those Lantz DVDs have some of the worst “restoration” ever. The colors are awful, there’s blatant digital compression, and, of course, DVNR is all over the place.
