Ultra-chintzy? Perhaps...

I well recall this peculiar little cartoon, and was fascinated by it. I agree with Hal Erickson that it was “[u]ltra-chintzy both in concept and execution…” But that’s what makes it such fine retro viewing.

As far as storytelling goes, I find it superior to the [Hanna Barbera] productions [Ruff and Reddy] and [Huckleberry Hound]; far more imaginative and whimsical, and not cynical. And not an take-off on Jimmy Durante or Jackie Gleason (Ralph Cramden and The Honeymooners).

Is it really “chintzier” visually than, say, Fractured Fairy Tales, from the [Rocky and Bullwinkle Show]?--Mysweetoldetc. 19:35, 28 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mysweetoldetc. (talk • contribs)
