BOOBY TRAPS (WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE)
Jul. 12th, 2013 11:15 amSpeaking of cartoons ...
Here’s an interesting WW2 curiosity – a series of Warner Bros cartoons made especially for GIs, starring Private SNAFU.
In this episode, he encounters the dangers of booby traps. Literally.
It's reasonably SFW, depending on how strict they are.
These weren’t released under the Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes brand, but the style is totally recognizable (to say nothing of the piano-loaded-with-dynamite routine). This one has Robert Clampett written all over it, and you’d know the sound of Mel Blanc and Carl Stalling anywhere.
At the same time, it’s fascinating to see a WB cartoon with tit jokes and mild swearing in it. (Well, these WERE made for soldiers.)
A little more info for you here.
Beware of boobies,
This is dF
