See <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yef69nd" rel="nofollow">here</a> for an explanation that matches what I heard at the time.<br /><br />JUST DOGS is an odd cartoon—totally forgotten today, but in the 1930s remembered as Pluto's first starring role (which it was). In the 1950s, it was occasionally misidentified as Pluto's debut. <br />It's certainly not the only cartoon to show Pluto as "kind of a prick"; numerous 1940s Pluto starring vehicles do this, always with a smaller, cuter animal (Salty the seal, Shelby the turtle) as the more sympathetic one.<br />Maybe it was simply seen as funny to watch a lead character be unashamedly selfish. Donald was often treated the same way, though I wouldn't call the cartoons in question among his better ones.ramapithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751343744514656549noreply@blogger.com
