This short is a mixed bag, some bits working, others not working. There are inside jokes referencing animators, including a caricature of Bob Clampett in a bit that is hilarious if you know who Clampett is and so-so if you don't (Clampett was still primarily part of Avery's animation team, later becoming one of the best directors at the Warner Brothers animation studio). The closing gag will strike some as tasteless, but I think it's typical and vintage Tex Avery. Well worth seeing. Recommended.
