That’s Not All, Folks:

The cartoon is in the public domain due to the owners failing to renew the copyright in time.

This is the only time that Porky and Beans verbally interact with each other.

What I Like About This One:

An extended artillery gun containing someone who knocks the enemy out rather than shooting at him.

A soldier using piano keys to fire bombs but gets blown up and turns into a harp-playing angel.

Norman Spencer’s rendition of “The Black Horse Troop”.

The gags with a cross-eyed soldier.

A shot of Beans eating beans (as in the food).

The gag with a “portable hole”.

Beans and Porky wrapping up the enemies holding General Hardtack prisoner with barbed wire.
