Main Character(s):

None

Summary:

A series of gags on an Indian reservation which climaxes with a shoot out against a pioneer.

That’s Not All, Folks:

The cartoon was given a Blue Ribbon reissue. The song “Indian Dawn” played over the opening credits which were:

Supervision: I. Freleng

Animation: Bob McKimson and AC Gamer

Musical Direction: Carl W. Stalling

The cartoon’s title is a pun on the song “Sweet Sue, Just You”.

This is the last cartoon to use the 1936-1937 rendition of “Merrily We Roll Along”.

This is the first cartoon to use “The Merry Go Round Broke Down”, which would become the Looney Tunes theme a few months later in October.

What I Like About This One:

Chief “Rain in the Face” literally having a rain cloud pouring on his face.

A chicken doing an Indian yell when she lays an egg.

The gag with a hitchhiking Indian.

Another Indian spelling out a smoke message in Morse code (ending with a hiccup).

Two Indians doing the Russian kick dance.

An Indian and his horse being propelled backwards whenever he shoots.

The merry go round gag (which is what I used for the screenshot).

The end gag where one brave clubs another so he can be the (literal) Last Mohican.
