The Censorship Report for “The Night Watchman” will not be seen today, because he got scared off by the murderous mice that came from the following horrifying segment…
Sarthurva U and Andrea Hicks are back, and continuing their look at the Porky/Sylvester horror vacation trilogy. This is the second one, “Claws for Alarm.” This one is considered the scariest, most artistic one in the lot, thanks to Maurice Noble’s artwork and eerie color palette, the tighter pacing, how it leans more into horror than comedy, the mice being more of a threat (and not vanquished at all), and the subtle inklings that this was going to be a 3D cartoon in the same vein as “Lumber Jack-Rabbit.”
Like “Scaredy Cat,” this one also had edits to it, but “Claws for Alarm” had more of them, and Cartoon Network actually left this uncut in the twilight years of the channel airing classic Warner Bros shorts. I’ll let Sarthurva and Andrea explain. The blog will be back to its regularly-scheduled format next time.
