Mutt and Jeff Cartoon Watch Party With Mark Kausler - Bud Fisher Cartoons Commentary

Taking a look at some Bud Fisher 'Mutt and Jeff' cartoon scans from the early 1910's and 1920's with animator Mark Kausler.

In 1916, Bud Fisher licensed the production of Mutt and Jeff for animation with pioneers Charles Bowers and Raoul Barré of the Barré Studio. This resulted in 292 animated Mutt and Jeff shorts, making it the longest running theatrical animated short series of the silent era, second to Krazy Kat in terms of years. Series ran from 1916-1923 and 1925-1926. A few shorts of the second run were re-shot in 1930 with the Kromocolor process and reissued with a sound effects and music track. Richard ‘Dick’ Huemer worked on these who then later went on to Fleischer Studios and Disney.

Thanks for the restoration history, great stuff! BTW, the jockey cartoon they are using "pep" which was also used in the cartoon, Soda Jerks. Pep is amphetamine (aka speed).

At least you don't have the versions that are colored and sound added. Disgusting
