"Thank You Mask Man"

This was Lenny Bruce's "short" cartoon. It & his connection to "Bambi Meets Godzilla" is that in the 1970's these two cartoon were frequently played together, with the anti-war movie, "The King of Hearts."

It's 10 minutes long. About 9.5 minutes too long

my teacher got a hold of a film copy of this. She moved us all into the multimedia room set everything up like it was one of those movies that they make every kid watch. She was laughing so hard at the end, more at the look on our faces I think, that she had tears running down her cheek. It's one of the few movie experiences I remember from elementary school, I still love the show.

we've become so sanitized (and uptight), her doing that wouldn't fly in our current times.

Too bad

That Newland was something else, but never fully accepted and appreciated by Hollywood.
