A Nightmare on Van Beuren Street
The world of late '20s and early '30s Van Beuren cartoons was often populated by truly bizarre nightmarish creatures. In the next few screenshots, you'll see some typical examples of these ugly, demented and absolutely delightful characters. Enjoy... and try to guess the names of the cartoons these screenshots were taken from. One of these cartoons is going to be featured in more detail, next week.

Cartoon of the Month: "Scrap Happy Daffy"
This month's cartoon is Frank Tashlin's WWII classic "Scrap Happy Daffy", which is, in my opinion, one of the best WWII-themed WB cartoons, as well as one of the greatest examples of Tashlin's directorial skills.
For this reason, I think it would have made a nice addition to the already excellent Tashlin disc featured in this year's Looney Tunes Golden Collection. If the inclusion of a future wartime disc would be planned, I'd love to see this cartoon on it!
And now, on to the cartoon itself!
(By the way, the one to post the exact lines of the first song number, with all the names of the objects that Daffy mentions at a speeded voice, will win the Rock of Gibraltar delivered personally by my friend Duck Dodgers! :P)
