"Invisible Ink" is Koko the Clown short film from almost 100 years ago. It's black-and-white, silent and was made by animation legend Dave Fleischer. It runs for slightly over 7 minutes and is a mix of animation and live action as many other "Out of the Inkwell" cartoons. Koko the Clown is a real nuisance to the animator here as he apparently wants to draw something different, but Koko just won't go away and even keeps trolling the human in this short movie. Near the end, he enters through the guy's mouth and leaves through his ears. Thank God, later on, there were characters like Daffy or Elmer who had to deal with other characters being an annoying little pain in the arse and the creator did not have to deal with this nonsense himself. All in all, an okay film without moments of greatness. Only worth a watch for animation junkies or those with a deep interest in the early years of film.
