More Childhood Nightmates

Another insane cartoon from the Fleischer Studios!

Betty Boop kidnaped by cannibals! Bimbo sweats away! KoKo menaced by Giant Floating Louis Armstrong Head! Exploding volcanos! Inappropriate racial stereotypes!

The question isn't whether this sort of thing warped me for life. The question is: How did people grow up watching this kind of thing and turn out normal?

Bimbo's Initiation

"Bimbo's Initiation" scared the dickens out of me when I was little. Maybe it was the spanking. Maybe it was the sex. Maybe it was Betty Boop with spaniel ears.

Or maybe it was the notion that Mickey Mouse might push me down a sewer.
