No Other One (1936)

Wiffle Piffle
10 September 2009
Wiffle Piffle was one of the Fleischer Studios cartoon characters who never really got anywhere. He looked like the early 'Egghead' version of Elmer Fudd, but with an old man's voice. He showed up in a few of these screen songs and disappeared, largely unnoted.

In this typically decent entry in the long-running Song Song series -- the Fleischers actually inaugurated them in 1924, blowing Disney fans' claims of the Mouse having the first sound cartoons out of the water -- Wiffle Piffle and his assistant put up a bunch of billboard posters in a good series of blackout gags. Hal Kemp's orchestra plays a bouncy version of the title song. Good enough.
