The Fighting 69½th

This is the story of red ants and black ants and their inability to get along. A simple picnic is what starts all the trouble. A red ant and a black ant both spot an olive from said picnic at the same time. This leads to war between the two colonies. The black ant even steals bugs bunny's famous "Of course you know this means war" line.

I've always felt that this cartoon was under rated. I love the plot and how it pokes fun at man's seemingly endless need to make war with one another. The voices were performed by Mel Blanc and Kent Rodgers. This cartoon was written by Jack Miller. What I have posted here is the unedited version. I don't believe in posting edited versions of cartoons. I'm not trying to offend anybody, I just think it's important to show the work the way it was originally presented.
