A great, apparently forgotten cartoon

JimBOctober 26, 2015

This cartoon made a big impression on me as a kid. The Goofy Gophers find "their" crops stolen and taken to a factory for processing. They hitch a ride to the factory to retrieve them. It has plenty of good sight and word gags and is a fun look at the '50s stereotype of industry. I still quote from it today. It's sad this isn't available on video now.
