It's the personalities that really pull it off.<br /><br />There's some excellent characterisation on display with Dirty Bill taking a shine to the kid who tries to act tough and looks up to him as a hero. The portrayal of this friendship makes it all the more scary when Dirty Bill turns nasty, as Ambrose's really does seem to have some loot. When you think about it – it seems a tricky thing to pull off. A murderer palling around with a kid who's only play acting, but it's done very well.<br /><br />This short gets extra points from me for making Ambrose's tale so ridiculous it ends with him doing the Tarzan yell! One thing I wondered about this cartoon is the stage coach's crest bears the message "Body by Fisher". I've since looked it up and it's a jokey anachronistic reference to a automobile coachbuilder that I had never heard of before!Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17701967442508380462noreply@blogger.com
