What a Hole

Variations on the same gags can be found over and over in Tex Avery cartoon. There’s one in several cartoons where a character has a hole blasted through his body (or a part of it). Here are some examples.


Señor Droopy (1947)


Ventriloquist Cat (1950)


The Cuckoo Clock (1950)


Garden Gopher (1950)


The Chump Champ (1950)


Daredevil Droopy (1951)

All these shorts were written by Rich Hogan, who had been one of Avery’s writers at Warner Bros. He came over to MGM in 1941, and returned to the studio after the war.
