Saturday Morning Cartoon: Symphony in Slang

Here's one of my favorite cartoons of all time:   a 1951 classic by the legendary Tex Avery for MGM.  Tex said the front office hated cartoons like this, so he had to force them through...  They'd hit the deadlines and say, "OK, this is the only story we have, we either make this cartoon or we fall behind schedule!"  The animation is stylized and limited, a growing trend in animation in the 50's.   Enjoy!
