Whozat?

Wolfies do what Wolfies do.

I'm no Mort Drucker, no Jack Davis, nor a Tom Richmond;  I'm unskilled at caricature, but I sometimes try, just for the helluvit!

By the way, I'm re-writing this post from last night because I decided to explain WHO these characters are supposed to resemble!  Adding to the confusion, there was rarely any germane reason for the choices!

For instance, here's Christopher Lee (ish) instructing a class in his wonderful, deep, mellifluous voice:




Then again, if you're looking to cast a classy, British-accented, imposing, subtly scary fella as the Instructor, Mr. Lee is pretty good choice!


Don't know if this looks all that much like Elwood P. Dowd as portrayed by Jimmy Stewart, but I got that Pooka Rabbit Harvey just right!! 




Behold!  Some Actual Slapstick!!

This version of "The Great Stoneface" Buster is somewhere between his silent movie comedy prime and his appearances in "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum," and all those stupid 60's A.I.P. Beach Movies!  

(By the way, when this was new, Springrose's reaction was funnier than the cartoon itself!  She said to me, "Hey, I like the rump on that gal!!"  😃 )




I don't recall if I was really trying to caricature Buffalo Bob Smith of early Kid TV Show fame, or was just employing his costume for the gag here! 

But I seen my Doody and I done it. 





Did Sean ever make a remark in any movie about crackers in bed?  Probably not, so there was no reason to attempt his face here, other than to see if anyone would say anything!  

I just took license.  (One of the nine "double-0's" available.)




However, casting Ol' Walter Brennan as Ol' Pop Sizzle made perfect sense here!  He fit the role so well, like the Real McCoy!

(And only More Mature Persons or Rerun TV Addicts will get that lame joke.)  




That's All, Folks!
