That’s Not All, Folks:
This is the first Looney Tunes cartoon ever made.
What I Like About This One:
The gags!
Bosko tugs on a hair of his head to pull up his pants while he’s getting dressed.
Bosko rides a wave of water from his bathtub as he leaves for his date.
Honey pours bath water into Bosko’s saxophone, creating bubbles as he plays the instrument.
