Reviews
Spark Plug Race
At the time, this was a very popular and much anticipated cartoon. Since Barney Google had aquired his race horse Spark Plug as a gift, which made this comic popular, everyone was anticipating when he would finally race the horse. So, at the time, this was a very popular cartoon. I won't spoil the result, but if you do get a chance to see it, you will see all the elements of and hilarity of later comedy races that were fashoned after this one for the big screen.
