Hilarious stuff.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I don't have a copy of "Wanted:No Master". I might be wrong but I don't think that one's been released on DVD.

WHOA!!!!!!!! MAN!!!! I ne...HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! WHOA!!!!!!!! MAN!!!! I never knew Milt Gross had made any actual CARTOONS!?? DAMN! Dude, seriously i'm like spazzing out over here. That was one of the COOLEST cartoons I have EVER SEEN, EVER! This actually rivals Bob Clampett. talk about being WAY ahead of your time, you know?? this is like WAY ahead of its time, I mean its cartoony to the mother fucking <I>MAX</I><BR/><BR/>i have to admit that I didn't like Milt Gross that much. Yes, he pioneered a lot of things (at least that's what I hear). but i just didnt care for his comic strip drawings because as goofy as they were, they just looked so sloppy & awkward to me. with like unappealing poses & stuff (just my opinion, please dont kill me guys!)<BR/><BR/>but WOW, this cartoon TOTALY CHANGED my opinion of him<BR/><BR/>what a CRIME he didnt make more.. he only made two cartoons?! why?? did people not have eyeballs & see that he was a fucking cartoon making mastermind genius???<BR/><BR/>are you going to post his other cartoon? can i buy this on DVD?<BR/><BR/>thank you for posting this!!!!Ryan Khatamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449381112684893401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733109.post-1163221686460849362006-11-11T00:08:00.000-05:002006-11-11T00:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for posting this amazing gem, never knew it...Thanks for posting this amazing gem, never knew it existed!Darryl Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759947619405572122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733109.post-1162803952813462162006-11-06T04:05:00.000-05:002006-11-06T04:05:00.000-05:00Frickin amazing.

Wonder if Gross broke his budget here (could explain why he got booted)-- the screen is PACKED with characters. And did Avery cop Red from this?<BR/><BR/>Had no idea this existed.

One wonders whether the title, and the opening announcement, were imposed on the cartoon without Gross' permission.<BR/><BR/>Wow, there sure is a lot of similarity between Count Screwloose and his two penguin interlopers and Danish Storm Pedersen's <A REF="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.peter-og-ping.dk/grafik/peter_og_ping_tegning.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.peter-og-ping.dk/&h=344&w=544&sz=58&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=HpDPk9dquK29xM:&tbnh=84&tbnw=133&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2522peter%2Bog%2Bping%2522%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26hs%3Dvjv%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DN">Peter and Ping</A>. Earlier on, Pedersen also created Rube Goldberg-style inventions before Goldberg. A not-so-surprising example of a classic and influential cartoonist now forgotten outside his home country... but I digress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22733109.post-1162683242108560182006-11-04T18:34:00.000-05:002006-11-04T18:34:00.000-05:00Wow, Milt got to use his Screwloose and Wonder Dog...Wow, Milt got to use his Screwloose and Wonder Dog characters in cartoons!
