Shorts! Out of the Inkwell: The Tantalizing Fly

How's It Hold Up? - A podcast by Danika Juarez - Wednesdays

It's time to dive into our first series of theatrical cartoon shorts! We're still a long ways from Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse, but even back in 1919 characters were being created who are still known today! In this particular case, the cartoon stars a clown who would eventually be known as Koko, and would become best known for being a side character in early Betty Boop cartoons. This time it's just him and an obnoxious fly... and also the animator Max Fleischer himself! Is this cartoon from over 100 years ago still funny or enjoyable to watch in the year 2021?
