Disclose Notes: The character models for Dimwit, and Chesty the Bulldog seem more natural and “at home” in a Heckle and Jeckle story, as they would in a Heckle and Jeckle cartoon, vs. appearing as supporting characters in a Dinky Duck farmyard outing (above). Terrytoons animator Connie Rasinski draws this story in a lively and fast-paced animated style. Wobbly special effects lettering is used for the “ghostly speech”. Not a common practice for 1948.
