This Robert McKimson cartoon, Early to Bet, stars a gambling bug who decides to bite a compulsive cat who's trying to give up. But every time the bug bites him, the cat always goes to this bulldog who makes him spin a penalty wheel when he loses the card game. Then after picking the file with the number that the arrow pointed toward, he looks at it and says, "No, not the Geshunheit. Not the Geshunheit! NOT THE GESHUNHEIT!" After a few more repeats of this, the dog declines the now-injured cat's attempts to play Gin so the bug takes the dog's place. Bad idea as the bug gets the card one number lower than 3! "No, not the Post!" is shouted as the short ends. Loved the way the cat bounces up and down after the bug keeps biting him. Also loved the penalties he keeps getting. Early to Bet is another cartoon I highly recommend.
