Another great set of Clay’s 16mm cartoons, and it’s been too long since the last one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mysterious Mose<\/em> (1930, Dave Fleischer)<\/strong> is a proto-Betty Boop (she looks like a dog; a sexy dog) cartoon in which she is haunted by a sorta ghost casanova. The Great Piggy Bank Robbery<\/em> (1946, Robert Clampett)<\/strong> is a weirdly violent Daffy Duck gangster parody. Since his “Duck Twacy” fantasy is spurred by a knock on the head while reading comic books, it’d be a good short to play before Artists & Models<\/a><\/em>. It’s Tough to Be a Bird<\/em> (1969, Ward Kimball)<\/strong> is a Disney doc about birds and watchers with musical cartoon segments. And We Have Met the Enemy, and He Is Us<\/em> (1973, Walt Kelly)<\/strong> is an unfinished Pogo cartoon with a harsh environmental message. I think all the voices were done by one guy.<\/p>\n

Bunch of TV stuff. Spiderman fights a bank robber in a mole-man costume. There’s a Casper cartoon (in which Casper does not appear) about a watch repairman who gets attacked by an eagle at the end. Ralph Bakshi contributes an episode of Captain America. A horrible show called Hoppity Hooper (set in Wisconsin) with a Rocky-and-Bullwinkle-repetitive bit about “the traffic zone” was the low point. The high point was the hilarious 60’s-70’s commercials for Mr. Wizard, Hot Wheels, Cheerios and the like. Real fun program… too bad the next one is scheduled for the same night Art Brut is playing.<\/p>\n
