Ding Dog Daddy (1942)
Dec. 13th, 2010 05:42 pmOh, how neat. I just found a Merrie Melodies short that was one of my very favorite childhood cartoons. I probably haven't seen this since I was ten.
More info about the short is here.
Fun fact: metal dog garden statues were very fashionable in the late Victorian-early Edwardian era, but many of them were melted down for artillery in the wars, as is shown in this cartoon. Terhune mentions them in 'Grey Dawn.' Surviving examples are rare and valuable, and I would very much love to have a replica some day.
