Production notes

This cartoon is lost.

An apparent collaboration between Pinto Colvig and Walter Lantz, this cartoon is considered one of the first sound cartoons. Obviously not a hit, the character never took off, and Lantz went on to partner with Universal while Colvig went on to work with Disney and the Fleischer brothers.
