Today's post is dedicated to one of my all time favorite cartoons, 1959's a Mutt in a Rutt. Staring Elmer Fudd and his dog Wover. The plot is based around Wover believing something that has no base in truth. However, through the power of suggestion it manages to become reality to Wover. I think what I like the most about this short is that Elmer takes on a bit of a different role here. He gets the chance to take a much needed break from chasing Bugs Bunny.
I haven't seen this cartoon in a very long time. Watching it again reminds me of how fortunate I was to grow up in an era when they showed cartoons on Saturday mornings. I can only imagine kids today know nothing but the internet and cell phones. They have never experienced Saturday morning cartoons and they never will. I feel sorry for them.
I really don't want to get too far off the beaten path because this blog is about classic cartoons. There's plenty of websites dedicated to the nonsense of today's world. I want this blog to be an escape from something that seems like there is no escape from. That's really all I have to say today. I'm gonna sign off and say enjoy this cartoon be it the first time you've ever seen it or the one millionth time.
