You Do Know How To Whistle?
8 May 2021
It's a classic Tex Avery cartoon -- what, again?! -- in which a large, mean dog torments a small cat, until the latter is approached by a black alley cat, who offers to. Bring bad luck to the dog by crossing his path whenever the small cat blows a whistle. The gags consist of the variety of increasingly absurd ways the black cat enters and exits the frame, and the increasing large objects that fall from the sky onto the victim. They start with flowerpots, and end up battleships.

It's a nicely graded assortment of gags, increasingly odd and immense, that makes this Avery cartoon simultaneously standard and so very funny.
