This Farmer Alfalfa cartoon is one of Paul Terry's silent best as the cat and mouse torment the farmer while he is painting his house, then while he is driving his car. The gags follow each other in a stream-of-consciousness series of events, starting with the baby cars following the one Alfalfa is driving. It all ends in a typical fashion, with all three heading towards the horizon in a fashion that suggests, like a Tex Avery cartoon, that the film ends because they've run out of time, but the jokes until then follow each other with a dream-like logic.Paul Terry, in terms of sheer number of titles, was the most successful of cartoon producers, with over a thousand to his credit, but he was rarely distinguished for the quality of his work, but for the efficiency of his operations and for his aim squarely at an audience of children. Here is a rare example of some very good work from his staff.
