Michael Lah directs the next-to-last Droopy cartoon about Our Hero and Butch being race car drivers i competition. As usual, Butch fights unfairly, blowing up bridges after he has crossed them, and of course, the classic gag about painting a tunnel on a mountainside. Droopy foils them all without thinking. it's a decently performed cartoon, even though it shows the short budget in ts simple designs, minimal backgrounding, and limited animation.

Lah had entered animation in the 1930s, working for Harman & Ising and Disney. he became Tex Avery's lead animator, and eventually co-director. He seems to have left theatrical and TV animation after MGM finished with the next cartoon. He died in 1995, at age 83. I wonder what he did with the rest of his life.
