That had to be frustrating, especially seeing Hadrdaway and Dalton having the option to do color and B&W shorts and Jones' new unit doing nothing but color cartoons.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917473912378530721.post-40600274490163767382010-11-13T09:42:25.302-05:002010-11-13T09:42:25.302-05:00Don't hang that just on Clampett.

Foster's not credited on this one, but he did take the basic idea nine years later and reworked and improved it into "Paying the Piper" (which actually made Porky integral to the story past the first two minutes of the cartoon).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
