Droopys Good Deed
From May 5th 1951 it's MGM's "Droopys Good Deed". This cartoon was directed by Tex Avery and was one of the last cartoons Avery produced for MGM before going on a self-imposed sabbatical from the MGM cartoon dept.
In this outing, Spike the vagrant comes across a boy scout camp when he is booted off a freight train. A competition is underway between Droopy and another scout for Best Scout. The prize? A trip to Washington to meet with the President! Spike sees this as his opportunity and takes the other scout's place. The remainder of the cartoon is a smattering of quick black-out gags as Spike does his best to eliminate his competitor, Droopy.
What I'm posting here is the uncensored version so to all you PC folks out there, you've been warned!
As an interesting side note there is an an error in geography in this cartoon. The cartoon ends with Droopy visiting the President. However, instead of visiting the White House, he visits Capitol Hill.
