2001oct12. So, to recap what we know so far, in English. The cartoon “dog plasma” cartoon mystery was “Crazy Mixed-Up Pup,” created by Tex Avery under the Walter Lantz studio. It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1954 but mysteriously lost out to a Mr. Magoo short entitled “Mr. Magoo Pays Off The Academy With Real, Actual Money And Wins The 1954 Academy Award For Best Cartoon.”"Mixed-Up Pup” is apparently on a “Woody Woodpecker & Friends” compilation tape. Logically, there about twenty different “Woody Woodpecker & Friends” tapes (some including that dreary “Andy Pandy” feller (“Andy Panda Breathes Some Air,” “Andy Panda Sits And Stares At The Cartoon Ceiling For Approximately Seventeen Minutes”), most including public-domain cartoons that are public-domain for a very special reason), making any attempt to find it that much more exhilirating. In addition, the other cartoon I mentioned, with all of the cliches (“cat got your tongue”), was also created by Tex Avery and called Symphony In Slang. The page is in French (except for the phrases) as was the previous one because the French people have a deep appreciation for Monsieur Avery and zee slapstickery. As should you. The End.
