Synopsis

Is Alice going to pose in the nude? Not if Harry can help it, and he's doing all he can to end the project proposed by Irma's artist friend.

Teaser Sequence: Ralph comes by asking Harry what's wrong and that he's got a hangover from drinking Borscht. Harry says his problems aren't the soup and it's to the wacky artist they fed it to and that the artist wants to paint Alice in the nude. Ralph says "No kidding, he really wants to paint in the nude?" Harry corrects Ralph with "Not him, her." Ralph says "Oh." Harry then says "When's it all going to end? We're down to nothing now. What next, People going to peeling off their skin." Ralph says "It's more serious than you think, Harry. It's even spreading to the army." Harry questions "The army?" Ralph says: "Yeah, they're already issuing in short-sleeved shirts. Next, it'll be shorts. Pretty soon, none of the armies will be wearing anything at all."

Production notes
