Since I barely said a dang thing about him, I&#8217;ll give you a quick rundown. Much like Snafu was made for the military, Hook was made for the navy. (Well, his first short was shown in theaters, but it was made by Walter Lantz studios, so we&#8217;re not talking about it.) Unfortunately, Hook wasn&#8217;t as interesting as Snafu. He was a goody-two shoes who was happy to follow the rules. And all three of his shorts were about buying war bonds. They&#8217;re still entertaining though. (Except for Hook&#8217;s annoying laugh. That&#8217;s his main character trait.) All three of them were released in 1945.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good Egg<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNow ain\u2019t this cute!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gIYZxwP8g70?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><br \/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Hook is asleep on his ship. His bad side (personified in the classic cartoon way: a devil version of himself) finds his war bond. (He takes it to bed with him?) He tells the sailor to not waste his time with such things, but his good side disagrees. (What&#8217;s more, he flat out beats up the devilish side.) He then explains all the benefits of purchasing a bond. He even recommends purchasing more. After the war, he&#8217;ll have a nest egg that will make it possible for him to purchase new clothes and a nice house. A stork also pops up, but the good side says that it will come later.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tokyo Woes<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI got a mess of hot platters for you today!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rieb-xDvPxI?wmode=opaque&amp;enablejsapi=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><br \/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This short begins with a Japanese radio show. Starring some of the most racist caricatures I&#8217;ve ever seen. Yeah, it was a different time, but they have way too many teeth! It creeps me out! Our hostess&#8217; (whom we first see on a toilet) main focus is telling the world that bonds are useless. This angers our perfectly behaved protagonist. He&#8217;ll show her! He launches a missile her way, but surely someone as perfect as Hook would never actually kill anybody! (What do you think he&#8217;s in? A war?) The missile just unloads a sentient war bond. Good thing he has no moral compass! He hands her many bombs and hightails it out. The bombs explode and leave nothing but their hair, glasses, and grotesquely over-sized teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Later, when the war is over, the same bond comes to Hook to make good of his promise. Granting him new clothes, a nice car, and a boob job. (I&#8217;m not joking.) The bond asks if there&#8217;s anything else he wants. Hook agrees that there is, but he can get it himself. We end with him being kissed by a woman. Money can&#8217;t buy love, you see.<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 1<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my first year of doing this blog, I made a small post about one of this guy&#8217;s shorts.
