Another staple from my childhood, always watched however often repeated. This is the episode I remember in adulthood, 40-odd years later, so I was delighted to find it on YouTube. It's like M.C. Escher took a temp job with DePatie-Freleng. And so many sight gags - oh, the bit where he falls down the stairs... Plus that incidental music (unlike the main theme, not the work of Henry Mancini but one Walter Greene)...
Seldom does anything I post here get read or commented on unless it's music-related but humour me, this is worth six minutes of anyone's time. Plus it keeps the blog ticking over, so...
Had not seen this one before, this is great! It's like the animation took some acid and went to town, thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just? And welcome to a new (and superbly named) commenter.
DeleteVery good, a staple of my childhood too - and I used to love that pink Pink Panther chocolate, d'you remember that? Erm, not sugary at all....
ReplyDeleteI love the visual tricks in animation and I'm reminded of lovely ancient Felix The Cat cartoons - for example, this one, which is choc full of them:

Yes, great visual comedy in that Felix short.
