This sequence in Tex Avery's "Bad Luck Blackie" (1949) is a great example of how Tex and team would do such a great job of contrasting timing and animation-- even in the same shot! Great scene to study drybrush and blurs too! #animation #texavery | Gabe_Swarr

In Tex Avery's "Bad Luck Blackie" (1949) ALL of the layout, timing and animation here is amazing! So strong, clear, and powerful. These takes are pure Tex too! Two takes for the price of one--even extra eyes! #animation #texavery #classic #cartoon #funny | Gabe_Swarr

In Tex Avery's "Bad Luck Blackie" (1949) the tides have turned on our little kitten friend! But have they? Once the logic and story are so well set up, that's when you can expertly subvert it. Love this human scream on the kitten! #animation #texavery #classic #cartoon #funny | Gabe_Swarr
