From Log To Log

Warren Foster could be cynically funny at times. One of my favourite Foster commentaries on the idiocy of the world is in the Goofy Gopher cartoon “Lumber Jerks” (1955).

The gophers (and audience) look on as a log is ground up into sawdust, mixed with glue and turned back into a log. It’s all done without words. “Scrumptious! Simply scrumptious,” as one of the gophers might say.



Manny Perez, Artie Davis and Virgil Ross animated this cartoon.
