Stalling. A Merrie Melody released on July 15, 1939.<\/p>\n<p>When done right, parodies are tons of fun! Such is the case with this picture. You don&#8217;t even have to know what&#8217;s being parodied to enjoy your self. So&#8230; does that actually make it a failure as a parody? I don&#8217;t mean to besmirch you, Tex! It&#8217;s just a talent I have.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the Malibu Saloon may seem silent, but that&#8217;s an untrue fact.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t blink then you will catch the patrons&#8217; whooping act. I wouldn&#8217;t doubt that any of them are hounds of hell, since everyone is an anthropomorphic canine. Our titular character is a gambling Dan who&#8217;s playing a game of pachinko. His voice is what we in the biz like to call comedy gold that you should really create a character for. I say we take that Egghead character who just barely had his last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2020\/12\/20\/believe-it-or-else\/\">appearance<\/a>, and develop him into a new vessel for these golden pipes. It&#8217;ll get gweat wesults!<\/p>\n<p>Then, out of the night, and out of the cold, and into our humble saloon, there stumbled a dirty dog type guy, who really makes this &#8216;toon. Oh, man. I don&#8217;t know who this guy is, or what brought him here or how he takes his coffee, but I&#8217;m instantly in love with him. You shouldn&#8217;t inherently think Tourette syndrome is funny, but you don&#8217;t have much of a choice here. It&#8217;s like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2012\/05\/07\/2012-5-7-the-dover-boys-at-pimento-university-or-the-rivals-of-roquef-html\/\">Dan Backslide<\/a> as a furry, and how could you say no to that? Since we have a one Dan limit in here, I&#8217;m calling him Don Barkslide.<\/p>\n<p>Even if we don&#8217;t know his tale, we know what he&#8217;s here to do. He&#8217;s got his eyes fixated on Dan&#8217;s lady, known as Sue. The spitting image of Bette Davis! You don&#8217;t see it? Just squint a little&#8230; there you go! But he&#8217;ll have to settle for being friends at best because she&#8217;s loyal to Dan. Don isn&#8217;t impressed with the twerp, even when with his feebly hilarious roars. This calls for a referee! He tells the two to settle this like&#8230;men,(?) with a little boxing. When you work with THE Tex Avery, you realize that no gag is too outlandish if it works for the scene. Thus, a street car that constantly pokes in to act as the bell.<\/p>\n<p>With the crowning cry of a ringside bell, the match begins in earnest, and the combatants go to town in a frightful, whirling dervish. Dan may not look like it at fifth glance, but he&#8217;s a pretty even match for Don. None of them seem to take any lasting harm by the time round one is over. (Dan McFoo for &#8220;Punch Out!!&#8221;) After a refreshing shave, Don is ready to win. (I know what I typed.) He ain&#8217;t kidding around no more. He&#8217;s quick to turn Dan into a literal punching bag. Dan, in turn, proves he&#8217;s the bigger&#8230;man(?) by calling him out for cheating. That&#8217;s not just horseshoes in that glove, that&#8217;s a horse.<\/p>\n<p>Their anger is near to bursting, just like a pent-up flood, let&#8217;s continue with the fight and see if they draw blood. Round 3 is typically where the best action happens, and we are fortunate enough to have a cartoon willing to pause itself to let us see the best bits. But they&#8217;re still evenly matched, and worse yet, innocent bartenders are getting caught in the crossfire. The narrator decides to get involved and gives the combatants some pistols. Finally, a guarantee that at least one of them will die.<\/p>\n<p>The lights arbitrarily go out, we get a &#8220;scream&#8221; from Sue, when lit once more one&#8230; man(?) is down, it&#8217;s dangerous Dan McFoo. Sue begs and pleads for him to say one thing to her; prove that he&#8217;s all right. I think his simple &#8220;hewwo&#8221; suffices. (Me personally, I&#8217;d be begging for Don to speak again. He didn&#8217;t get nearly enough lines.)<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Part: Don all the way. Louder doesn&#8217;t inherently mean funnier. Unless you&#8217;re Mel Blanc.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3 that I probably should call a 4. Actually, yeah. I&#8217;ll change it to a 4. But most of that was earned by Don.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;What a pretty GIRL, WOW!&#8221; Supervision by Fred Avery; Story by Rich Hogan; Animation by Paul Smith; Musical Direction by Carl W.
