An Ub Iwerks Halloween

Hey, it's Auggie McAutumn, painting the town evil!




Meanwhile, "The Dead" eye-up an impishly agreeable Flip the Frog in a scene from Guess Who's Coming to MURDER...




And once again ol' Scarecrow drinks too much Jim Beam Rye and tries to find his way home at about 7am. Young children silently wonder if that's what it's like to be "all growed up."

More Fun With In-Betweens!

This here is Flip the Frog by Ub Iwerks. Flip is obviously "maaad" and evidently not going to take it anymore. We know this from the specific facial distortion that matches the inflection of the word. Or, it could simply be that he has "haaad it with yaaams."




In any event, upon hearing of Flip's departure, an emaciated walrus appears and belches out the tune to "Oy, Frankie, We Barely Knew Ye."





"Well that settles it," Flip says, and is off to audition for Dickens, you Dickens, a play that is, according to the Bloom Picayune, "of negligible import." Regardless, "The Dead" are beside themselves with joy.

Inbetweens of Interest

Look now upon these Inbetweens of Interest!


Flip the Frog, by Ub Iwerks, the other creator of Mickey Mouse. Good ol' Flip!




Flip enjoys life, and isn't afraid to show it.




Meanwhile, Mickey's violent half-brother gives Ol' Puss a hard time.




Ol' Puss, hopped up on Oxycontin, relates the story to an irate Flip, who threatens to send a letter of complaint to Bjork, NY. Oh well, better luck next time, fellas!
