Great cartoon!

Out of all the Bosko cartoons, this one is definitely one of my favorites (from those I have seen, anyway). Bosko accidentally busts his easter eggs, so he attempts to scam the chicken out of her eggs, which he actually does, but then the chicken gets her revenge! Bosko was way ahead of his time evidently, as he is constantly making rhymes as he strolls along (with his pooch Bruno, and the girl who is his sister or girlfriend or something). One of my favorite lines he sings (raps?) is, "The Easter time is the time for eggs, and the time for eggs is the Easter time!" As always, Bosko makes seemingly simple situations very complicated and he gets himself into some crazy antics. Meanwhile he's always saying things like "Hello Miss Chicken, you sho' look scrumptious today!" For those not in the know, Bosko is a young black child with a very vivid imagination, often finding himself in wild adventures. These old Bosko 'toons are always a blast, and full of amazing animation which blows away today's bloated computer/CGI garbage.
