This pithy resource documenting the golden age of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical short subjects, highlights major (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig) and minor (Michigan J. Frog, Hubie and Bertie, Ralph Wolf) characters and their great directors (Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, Frank Tashlin), among its wealth of material.
Of special value is the background to the numerous mid-twentieth century pop culture references populating these anarchic animation gems (A-cards, meat shortages, "Greetings, Gate"), plus, there's a wide spectrum of trivia sure to spur behind-the-scenes insight and recollected smiles.
Author E. O. Costello's research is an excellent find, saluting the mass of adored creativity which birthed so many small masterpieces.
