HATS.
Many professional entertainers have built their reputation on some dramatic business with hats. Either they wear some odd head-gear or else it will be in their manner of wearing a hat or a trick in doffing it. If a hat is too small, it is sure to create laughter; and if too large, it is a certainty that there will be mocking hilarity. And even if it is of the right size, it need only to be perched on the head at an angle to be considered ludicrous.
Radiating “dent” lines give emphasis to this bludgeon blow.
The spirited screen actors, too, of the animator’s pencil are shown going through all sorts of strange doings with their hats.
A chase around some object is a never-failing laugh-provoking incident in an animated cartoon.
