ABOUT THE IMAGE: Poised as a before and after sequence, these two images come from Knighty Knight Bugs, the 1958 Academy Award-winning cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. This piece shows the progression of a gag, where in the first scene, Yosemite tries to keep his fire-breathing dragon from sneezing while both are huddled inside a castle’s explosives-filled powder room. By the second scene, we see that Yosemite has failed as both he and the dragon, while still inside the same powder room, nonetheless sail upward like a rocket.
