marks of the penguins
If you know what sorts of gags Tex Avery's cartoons contain, just insert members of the family Spheniscidae* and you have "The Penguin Parade". It portrays a gigantic musical performance in Antarctica featuring penguin celebrity caricatures such as Bing Crosby. Among the scenes are hot jazz melting the instruments, and...well, I don't know how much I can tell you without giving away the really funny parts. But I will say that this is one cartoon that you're sure to like. Above all, it just goes to show that there will probably never be a genre of cartoons like these in our lifetimes. Really great. Available on YouTube.
PS: writer Ben "Bugs" Hardaway drew the Bugs Bunny prototype.
*That's the taxonomic family to which penguins belong.
