Boris Gorelick came up with some neat backgrounds in Hare-Less Wolf (1958). It's filled with purple rolling hills and trees in various shades of autumnal red.



Here are some others. Several of these were longer than TV frame, but I can't snip them together without characters getting in the way. You can see cels outside the Charles M. Wolf cave entrance.



Gorelick is credited with only seven cartoons for the Friz Freleng unit, and then he is replaced by Tom O'Loughlin. We wrote about him in this post.

Maybe the best part of Warren Foster's story in this cartoon is naming the forgetful antagonist after Chuck Jones. Many of the gags are reminiscent of ones you've seen in other Bugs Bunny cartoons.

June Foray is here with her Marjorie Main voice as Mrs. Wolf.

Bosko had already left Warner Bros. when Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising, through Hugh’s brother Fred, syndicated a Bosko comic in newspapers.

They are certainly well drawn and I like the how-to-make-cartoons panel.

This is only a smattering of them. The series went into the end of October with a prolonged story about Bosko going big-game hunting in Africa and meeting with some cannibals. These are from May 6, 13, 20, 27, 30, June 4, 10 and 15, 1934.



Next Oct. 8, 9, 10, 17, 22, 24, 26, 29, 30 and 31.



And Nov. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 16.

Cat equals Nazi in The Fifth Column Mouse, 1943 Warner Bros. cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.

Fifth columnists were traitors who supported the enemy from inside their homeland. In this cartoon, mice are persuaded by the Fifth Column Mouse that a cat invading their home won’t hurt them.

If there’s any doubt the cat is a stand-in for the Axis, even before hearing the patriotic war song “We Did It Before” by marching soldier-mice, the cat scrapes ice off a window, with the clear spot forming what suspiciously looks like Hitler’s hair. The cat doesn’t need a German accent; the “hair” and the attitude that a cat is an enemy of mice is enough. (When the cat whispers his plot to the gullible mouse, Carl Stalling plays “Ach Du Lieber Augustine” in the background).

A good portion of the short is a chase, which adds to the energy of the cartoon. A fun freeze-frame scene is when one mouse takes an electric shaver to the cat. Here are some of the frames of multiples characters.



This is another cartoon featuring a “Buy Bonds” poster in the background. And it includes the Beethoven’s Fifth notes that signify Morse Code for the letter “V” for “Victory” as the cat looks at its shaved body.

The cartoon has been Blue Ribboned, so there are no credits.
