I was glad to see this cartoon get some props in that One-Shot post since it was always among my favorites of the 1950s. Too bad it's rarely seen, now, because of (very mild) Native American stereotypes. What does everybody else think of it?

Well, since it was myself who "gave it props" in my one-shot post, I'll be the first to vote it a "hit" in this thread. I love the idea of the guy who's so rich, he doesn't even have to leave his house to go hunting. He just goes into another room, and he's "outdoors"! I also love the put-upon butler ("Your Thomas-hawk, Sir."). It's been a while since I've seen this one, hope it shows up soon on a Golden Collection.

Hit. Always one of my favorites.
"Your Thomas-hawk, Sir."
I like this one. Sid Marcus was a great asset to Warners, it's a shame he didn't stay on longer.
This short has actually been quite a popular request in the past year for several trades I've done!

Is that the one where the character goes, "Me smell Mohican burning." And it turns out he's the last of the Mohicans so it's obviously him. I haven't seen that one in ages, probably due to broadcasters feeling it's un-P.C.
