Small Town Sheriff is interesting for some weird images that appear in this Paul Terry cartoon
tavm31 January 2009
This was one of Paul Terry's Aesop Fables cartoons he made during the silent era. In this one, Farmer Al Falfa's car breaks down while a cat in a speakeasy is selling alcoholic beverages to a mouse (who quickly passes out) and an elephant (whose mouth goes on fire which the cat douses with his seltzer bottle while the trunk sprays that seltzer back on the cat!). After the farmer takes his sip, he starts hallucinating like crazy...Having seen this twice on YouTube, this rare silent cartoon is interesting for some of the weird images that pervade during the last three minutes of this cartoon. As for the title, well, all I'll say is that reveal comes at the end. So on that note, if you're interested in many of these vintage and obscure silent cartoons, I say Small Town Sheriff is worth a look.
