Hey, Taxi

If I had a choice of one Droopy cartoon to watch, it’d be the wonderful Western “Drag-a-Long Droopy” (released 1954). The gags keep coming one after another and they’re funny even if you’ve seen the cartoon a thousand times and know they’re coming.

Here’s a favourite. Droopy jumps from the second storey of a saloon onto his burro and escapes from the wolf.



The wolf tries it and misses the horse.



He moves the horse to where he missed. He now lands where the horse was before.



He solves the problem by suddenly hailing a cab.



Ray Patterson, Grant Simmons, Bob Bentley, Walt Clinton and Mike Lah get on-screen animation credits.
