Saps In Chaps

Saps in Chaps was released on April 11, 1942. I can honestly say I have never seen this cartoon on TV. It appears to be pretty obscure. The director was of course Friz Freleng. It was written by Dave Monahan.  Mel Blanc was the voice of  the vulture, traveler, cat, villain, and horse. Billy Bletcher was the voice of Cactus Pete. Both men were uncredited.

The plot revolves around settlers moving west and towns springing up overnight. The only bit I saw worth mentioning in this short was when the villain enters a saloon, approaches the bar and repeatedly shoots a cowboy who laughs as if being tickled and says "Stop! You're killing me!,".
