THE HEP CAT (1942)

 "The Hep Cat" came out in 1942 and was the first Looney Toons cartoon in colour!

 He's cool, he's hip, he's one hep cat!

The back story is probably that he's playing craps and smoking reefer when he's not out strutting his stuff!!

The hep cat's nemesis is of course, the dog!

 Only the bird is smart enough to question why this same routine goes on night after night after night!

For an extra super hep cat surprise, PULL MY FINGER!

 "Walk like an Egyptian" - The Bangles
 You can watch this whole Java Jive musical number right here!!  
It's a good one!!

Spiffing up for another night out on the town, super cool like Victor Mature!

 Finally, hey sweetcheeks, where'd you come from?

Oh, no, it's just another wicked ruse by the dog and his hand puppet!

 This part's pretty weird! While they're making out, and he's feeling her up, the hep cat thinks the dog's bulbous nose is really an amazing bubble butt on the chick he just met!

 REALITY Check!!

 I also love the fact that there's a bottle of booze in the garbage! After all, cartoons are for kids, right?

You gotta admit, this is an interesting Ménage à Troi of an ending!
And also, Happy Anniversary to our dear friends B and A, because they got cat style!
