It comes from the popular 1910s urban legend that hot dogs were made with dog meat (hmm... before health laws, maybe they were). In both Disney's ALICE'S MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY and Mutt and Jeff's DOG GONE we see neighborhood pooches being put through the grinder, or being prepared for same.<BR/>The specific sequence in KARNIVAL KID is directly anticipated by one in Oswald's ALL WET, also out on DVD.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to see more equally wild Mickey cartoons, try MICKEY'S FOLLIES and THE SHINDIG for a start... both easily available on YouTube.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, thanks for the ongoing barrage of briliant Stanley material. I'd never known he did the 1950s KRAZY KAT, for instance, and I'm thrilled to see more of JIGGER. Wonderful stuff here, and I take my hat off to your research! (Good thing, too. The hat was an essential part of my Spider disguise, so it wouldn't do to wear it among ordinary citizens.)ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-58881981416066420012008-08-31T09:42:00.000-07:002008-08-31T09:42:00.000-07:00What would the comic's code have to say about this...What would the comic's code have to say about this story?

Things that makes me ab-normal?<BR/>Just a question: who the hell was that little man-woman-child at the beginning of the story? It sounds such a Twilight Zone. I think I'm hearing the theme tune in the distance. Stanley never ceases to amaze me!Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795779964678109450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157513690234917810.post-24553005029803082492008-08-29T19:05:00.000-07:002008-08-29T19:05:00.000-07:00It dies.
