The "cartoon emerging from an open book" idea would also be used in all three of the final MGM Bosko cartoons.Kevin Wollenweberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458065257912587522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-54892799572314404572019-04-27T10:48:15.444-07:002019-04-27T10:48:15.444-07:00Thirty years ago I screened a 16mm print of this c...Thirty years ago I screened a 16mm print of this cartoon for a group of very young children.

The first deer would have been used by Avery a few years later in spot gag effort to portray real life, before having it guzzle water from the pond and burp.
