I just finished watching Friz' Mama's New Hat and decided to peer at various things in the background.
Along a fence, there's a poster for...
The Murder of Pansy Thorson
Chapter 5
And a sign that says...
Re-elect MacAlpin
Balance the Budget
Later, Mama and the horse pass a store window that reads "Dr. Harris" and another that says "Bob Kuahara Fruits" which is next door to a realtor that says "Fred Quimby Office."
Everyone should know who Quimby is, but I was surprised to see Bob Kuwahara's name. MacAlpin is Fred MacAlpin.
I can only presume Charlie Thorson is being referred to, but I don't want to conclude the other name is Ken Harris as it's a common name and there could have been a Harris at MGM at the time.
Does anyone know who was doing the backgrounds for Friz' unit at MGM?
It's interesting seeing the horse, in one brief sequence, galloping with his front feet and back hooves in simultaneous pairs the same way Tom would later do in the early T & J cartoons.
