*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
I will be discussing some of the details of this short so there will be mild spoilers:
This is one of my favorite Heckle and Jeckle shorts. One of the things which makes this cartoon special, at least for me, is the song that Heckle and Jeckle sing about the villain, Dangerous Dan, the first line of which opens the short and is also the summary line for this comment. The lyrics and the visuals on the screen often match up (sometimes rather loosely), but the song itself is hilarious.
There are also some very good visual gags, such as Dan riding up in a cloud of dust and when the cloud settles, you see he's pedaling a bicycle. Dan also eats a miniature barber pole in the manner that a child might eat a candy cane. Dan wants our heroes to "make me look pretty!" and fires a shot to emphasize the point.
Naturally, since this is a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon and not a Dangerous Dan short, he starts out at a disadvantage. Since he's also clearly the "bad guy" here, he's doomed, as Heckle and Jeckle almost invariably come out on top against the really bad guys in their shorts.
The cartoon ends, appropriately enough, with Heckle and Jeckle singing the last verse of the "Dangerous Dan" song, with Dan considerably the worse for wear and quite unhappy. This is a thoroughly marvelous short and is well worth making the effort to try and find. Too bad that the Terrytoons aren't in print, so far as I know, anyway. Most recommended.
