THE MAGIC PENCIL







THE MAGIC PENCIL was a Terrytoon that seems sorta like the Van Buren cartoon PENCIL MANIA. It can also be seen as similar to the Fanny Zilch cartoons, because of the heroine and villain characters that appear in this cartoon.






























A black-and-white Paul Terry cartoon starring Gandy Goose and Sourpuss the Cat. Gandy acquires a magic pencil via a radio program, and havoc breaks loose as he and Sourpuss starts to fight over it. It was, in all likelihood, the 1932 Van Beuren Tom & Jerry cartoon "Pencil Mania" that was the inspiration for this Terrytoon.

Grossman would have you believe that the films of the forties were different than the films of the fifties as far as the bosom was concerned.







Don't you believe it.
