Prest-o Pups
We’re off to Chuck Jones land today with “Prest-o Change-o” wherein two pooches spend hours and hours and hours sniffing around a magician’s props. Jones trotted out his pair of curious pups in several toons around this time, and of all their appearances, this has always been my pick of the litter.
The big news here is that the rabbit in a hat turns out to be an unmistakable Bugs Bunny prototype (who guffaws with an equally unmistakable Woody Woodpecker prototype laugh!) Since this is a sorta psuedo-Disney mid-thirties affair, the wise guy tormentor receives an eventual comeuppance from his thick-as-a-doghouse tormentee. Had this cartoon been made a couple of years later than 1939, that dumb mutt would never have stood a chance.
