Max Fleischer and brother David are playing pool when Ko-ko and Fitz force their way out of the ink bottle. They want to play pool too, so Max obligingly draws a table for their use. However, it's not what Max draws that makes trouble for them -- it's the parts he did not.The Ko-ko cartoons were neck and neck with Felix the Cat for best cartoon series in the silent era. the reasons for the excellence of the Ko-ko series -- and this one -- are many. It's the sense of interaction with the real world -- originally an economy measure -- and the solid and often surprising logic behind the cartoon universe and its mutability.Here that ability to change is evident not so much in objects transforming into something else -- even though there is a startling example or two here as in the sense that by drawing a pool table, Max has called into existence pool hall loungers and a world outside that drawn room. That sort of "it makes sense after the fact" logic is what makes this one a winner.
