Certain things cartoons do well. Like bullets. And bombs. Slap a face on it, step one. Now real things you shoot out of guns go from point A to point B, and you never see them. But cartoon bullets are magic! They always take the long way. They end up at point Z 4 minutes later after 26 gags and 4 chase scenes and far more key poses than little metal objects are generally capable of.
Start the grand finale shall we?
Betty Boop’s da bomb!!
Let’s get them talking..(Smile Darn Ya Smile song originally from the Merry Melodies cartoon of the same name, posted a few pages back by Bryan)
I’ll end with this statement and it’s shining truth: Mario Bros. bullets make the most satisfying sound..
