Never Go After The Guy With Portable Holes

The big, dumb dog likes to chase the cat.... without success, of course. A small dog with a "Tell you what I'm gonna do!" delivery offers advice on how to get the cat to come to you in this very funny Colunmia cartoon.

It's produced by Binder & Katz during that period when Columbia was handing over cartoon production to UPA, but still had a backlog of product from what had been Charles Mintz' cartoon factory. Since before Mintz' death in 1940, cartoon production had been in a state of chaos, with no production team lasting more than a couple of years, and the regulars like Sid Marcus and Howard Swift left on their own.

Fortunately, at this moment, Bob Clampett was under contract to Columbia. While he isn't credited as director here, but writer, you can clearly see a bunch of gags from Termite Terrace, like Freleng's run-through-the-door-slam-it-and-come-out-of-another, Tex Avery's bug-eyed reactions to sexy fakes, and of course, Clampett's sense of speed to get on the next gag.
