Description
Note: This film contains racist and anti-Semitic imagery.
A revisionist imagining of what an explicitly queer cartoon could have looked like in the 1930s.
This work aims to capture the feel of a 1930s cartoon with its rubber hose animation, and referencing queer coded characters that actually appeared in 1930s shorts (see Soda Squirt).
