Lots of fun where the sun don’t shine.
Mother Nature’s targets this week: Woody Woodpecker, Daffy Duck, Goofy, and Mighty Mouse.
Another neat batch of titles this week, mostly from the higher-end producers of animated fare (Terrytoons and Columbia miss the cut).

Another batch of shorter appearances for fire-fighting gags from the theatrical front, plus a memorable educational entry.
