I for one am glad that this cartoon got three separate substantial write-ups as part of the Blog-A-Thon. After reading all three of the pieces I watched it again, this time taking perhaps an "against-the-grain" reading, and I enjoyed it more than I ever had. Who's to say the wolf is the villian in the cartoon? It's not like this is <i>Pigs in a Polka</i> where the wolf wants to kill the pigs; this guy just wants to play with them. Whether intended or not, I think this cartoon has room in it to be seen as an indictment of jazz snobbery. Look at it this way: the only way the pigs can appreciate the musician from outside their group, is if he's dead! I really like this post, Brendon.

I'll hunt it out. I am completely unfamiliar with this piece and appreciate your directing attention to it. I’ll hunt it out.

Thanks for the link! I enjoyed reading what you have to say about "Three Little Bops." You're right, this cartoon is extremely confusing from a moral standpoint. The racial implications of the cartoon are so tangled that it's hard to make heads or tails of what exactly Freleng is trying to convey. Great blog! Hi Brendon.
