Black and white animated cartoons warped my view of life. If you watch enough Columbia and Fleischer shorts, you start to feel like every wall has plaster showing, every piece of cloth or auto tire has a big patch on it, and the world is threadbare and squalid.
It’s hard to say how much worse it would have been if we’d had a working TV more of the time. Needless to say, a lot of those are my favorite cartoons now. Here’s THE FLOP HOUSE, where that lovable moppet Scrappy is operating a nickel-a-night kip for a bunch of derelict animals.
