“Scalp Trouble” still won’t be shown today, because the head lice have colonized said scalp in a bloody and scabby coup and are ready to move south and lay waste to the glorious nation of Genitalia on the top of Pubis Mound. While we valiantly fight back with medicated soaps and shampoo, please enjoy this two-part lost episode of Drawn and Quartered Does Valentine’s Day, focusing on the Tom and Jerry and MGM-era Tex Avery shorts.
Hey, guess who? It’s me, Penelope Whitaker Fontaine (a.k.a “P.W. Fontaine”), “Drawn and Quartered”’s resident Pepe Le Pew expert (but I am branching out under the tutelage of my flaky, but wise mentor, C.L. Young), back from the long hiatus.
See, over at “Drawn and Quartered,” we’re doing whatever we can to build a better Censored Cartoons Page, but sometimes, that can weigh heavily on C.L. (she takes this seriously) and this, coupled with real-world obligations and emergencies, can leave our precious blog without an update for weeks to months (but not years). As the first video explains, there was a lot of back-and-forth with how future “Drawn and Quartered” blog posts were going to be: C.L. wanted to continue with posts that explain the cartoon and detail the edits. Others wanted the same thing, but with “Letterboxd Says the Darndest Things” as a semi-regular feature while I (and others) wanted to do a full video series. We have come to an agreement to keep it as is, but this might change with future reviews, especially the post-1964 Warner Bros cartoons, where you can just summarize what’s cut in one video, maybe two.
For this one, originally supposed to be the final episode of the Drawn and Quartered Does Valentine’s Day episodes, a two-part video was created that explains what was cut and why. A remake with all the details and summaries about the shorts will be coming, but that won’t be for a while (target date: Valentine’s Day 2027 or thereabouts). For now, please enjoy these videos and we will be back soon to our regularly-scheduled posts:
