Not quite on time to be part of WWI, and still too early to be part of WWII. It&#8217;s just a nondescript battle with no clear answers. Even we in the audience aren&#8217;t safe, as we get shot in the face! A cannon goes through rigor mortis after being shot, and a bird has to take a long clear look at his gaping wound that cuts right through him, before realizing he&#8217;s dead. And where&#8217;s our main character? In his foxhole eating beans. (Close your mouth when you chew, Bosko. We don&#8217;t need to see that. Sometimes, it&#8217;s good that animation was not yet in color) His lunch is also shot and he has to make do with stealing cheese from a mousetrap. But he&#8217;s not going to let that get him down, he has a woman waiting for him after all! He happily kisses his picture of Honey, before that is shot too. A horse on his side tries to cheer him up with some harmonica playing. While they dance, a dog is in agony because of a flea (I think. It might be a tick) attacking him. Bosko solves this problem by getting the dog&#8217;s helmet riddled with bullet holes. This leaves a nice and jagged scratching device. (That would tear through a human&#8217;s skin. Isn&#8217;t being a toon wonderful?) Then, a fresh wave of firing comes down upon them. Bosko is attacked by a bomb dropping pelican. He fights back by sticking a bomb in the dog&#8217;s mouth, pulling on his hindquarters whilst he hangs from a tree, and firing at the bird and its mouse pilot. (The victory is short lived as the dog&#8217;s body is torn apart by the enemies fire, leaving him much shorter than before.) Bosko charges forward, ducking into another hole with a hippo to avoid the shots. (Which are primarily coming from some birds in their nest.) The hippo tries to fight back, but a cannon launches a ball down his throat. Bosko sets up a surrender flag made of some long underwear, but the cannon fires anyway. Upon noticing it now has a cannonball inside it, the underwear runs to the cannon and returns it. Thus, destroying the thing. With his path now cleared, Bosko runs over to help his ally. He&#8217;s no doctor, but he knows how to save the brave hippo&#8217;s life: just unzip him and pull the ball out. They laugh, but the cannonball explodes. (They don&#8217;t do that right? I&#8217;m no expert.) This sadly leaves Bosko in blackface.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019ll get you!\u201d Animation by Rollin Hamilton and Max Maxwell.
