A 1936 color cartoon by Ub Iwerks

Bosko the Doughboy is a one-reel 1931 short subject animated cartoon, part of the Bosko series. It was directed by Hugh Harman, and first released on October 17, 1931 as part of the Looney Tunes series from the Leon Schlesinger animation studio and distributed by Warner Brothers. The cartoon is usually considered one of the better Hugh Harman Bosko cartoons.-From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosko_the_Doughboy

Trivia This cartoon (along with other "Hook" cartoons) was found by accident in the garage of a former soldier who had saved them, thinking they were "Private Snafu" shorts. The cartoon was finally discovered in the mid-1990s when an A&E documentary on war cartoons began production. It turned out that Warners made these shorts for the US Navy and because they wanted to keep this a secret, all original negatives were destroyed shortly after release.

Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, I know) lists all the Fleischer/Famous Studios Popeye cartoons in the Public Domain, These five haven't been uploaded yet. I checked the later ones with USCO, but I don't have the wherewithal to check the earlier ones. If I'm in error, let me know so I can take the offenders down.

My first finished cartoon, from 1993. Made in Lowell Boston's animation class at UArts.

"Uncle Max" (Max Fleischer) draws Betty and Pudgy out of the inkwell. Pudgy is tired and unwilling to perform on Betty's command. Betty uses pen and ink to draw a machine that give Pudgy more pep. Unfortunately, the machine soon runs amok, speeding up not only Pudgy and Betty, but the entire city as well. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_Pep)
