Cartoon Network Friday Spotlight- “Cleaning House”

In 1937, Isadore “Friz” Freleng left Warner’s animation department to headline a series of theatrical shorts based off of The Katzenjammer Kids comic strips, now named The Captain and the Kids. He didn’t direct every short himself- a few other directors took turns, including a pre-Tom and Jerry Bill Hanna- but Freleng would direct the lion’s share of shorts for the series before MGM dropped the series and Friz returned to Warner.

Not this one, the first short, where Mama and the kids are in the process of spring cleaning. The Captain, meanwhile, is trying to sleep in and fakes an illness to take the day off. This upsets Mama, while the hellraising boys, Hans and Fritz, call the doctor to check on their papa. Hijinks ensue.

I can tell why these didn’t catch on very well. While Robert Allen is a solid director himself, the characters aren’t very special- maybe knowing how well-defined and layered the tropes of lazy patriarch, overbearing matriarch, and troublesome kids can be later in the century, like with The Simpsons, just shows the Captain and co’s limitations. Additionally, there are a couple of good chuckles, but a lot of this relies on tired slapstick that the crew, including Freleng and Hanna, would nail better later on.

And no, these shorts wouldn’t remain favorites over the years, but they did show up later on the Late Night Black and White block, as well as on future Looney Tunes home video releases as a reminder of Freleng’s lengthy career.

nobody talks about the fact that you can have all this crazy shit in your head, and want to open up and talk about your feelings but no matter what, you just can't make out the right words and properly put your thoughts and emotions into words

I am testing something based on a conversation I had with a coworker: Have you ever been in a Beauty Supply store. NOT Sephora or an indie makeup boutique. Not the cosmetic section of a wholesale store. I mean a generic named, located in the hood, beauty supply store.

Please reblog for a larger sample size 🙏

#for context the concersation had been about a white couple who adopted a black girl in her teens #when she asked them if they could do her hair. they realized they had no idea where to get the right products or how to install faux hair #she had to show them where the beauty supply store was and they asked a neighier to style the girl’s hair #and they waited too late at night so the woman ended up braid until 2am in the morning #braiding*

hhhhhh but what if everything was fixed and Joker was fixed and he was no longer Joker but Jack Napier instead after Bruce talked with him an actual meaningful emotional conversation (after Alfred sat him down and lectured him about his complicated bottled up feelings towards him) and made sure he gets regularly doses of therapy afterwards (with him accompanying him) and he tried another go at being a stand-up comedian and he was extremely successful and everyone laughed at his jokes and he laughed with them because he was genuinely happy and sometimes he’d end up having to pause mid-stage to wipe his eyes from tears of joy and then when everyone claps Bruce would be in the crowd somewhere and claps the loudest and they got married and shared custody of Robin together and Alfred slayed as a father in law and and wasnwjkwo

(whispers) it’s canon now.

I don’t know how to do this anymore. I don’t know how to get better. My head is a dark place and it only gets worse, day by day. and I have no idea how to stop the darkness from coming in. I have no idea how to save myself anymore.
