. . . about exactly WHO the Deplorable, trouble-making rodent who blows himself up at the end of DOUBLE CHASER is representing on behalf of Warner Bros. ever-prophetic Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, The Looney Tuners). Today, the Truth finally can be revealed. The miniature rat depicted causing all the Trouble for his Betters throughout DOUBLE CHASER is none other than Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's Fifth Columnist White House Sock Puppet, Don Juan Rump. As this nausea-inducing vermin with the minuscule paws lures the True Blue 99 Per Center Loyal Patriotic Normal Average Progressive Union Label stand-in, the Bulldog, into a dump of trashed American values toward the close of DOUBLE CHASER and the remnants of a clock cuckoo shrilly shrieks Warner's ominous alarm 75 years BEFORE THE FACT, it's Crystal Clear that this telegraphs the news that emerged yesterday (8/24/17) about Putin's order for the illegal Rump Administration to begin drilling and strip-mining America's national monuments. It's only a matter of time before Mad Vlad orders George Washington's hallowed visage to be replaced with his own smirking mug on our Sacred Mount Rushmore, with the asinine Rump Kisser being chiseled over the tribute to his own Antithesis, Honest Abe Lincoln!

A wittier version of Tom & Jerry's regular adventures
bob the moo26 October 2003
It's a classic combination - cat, mouse, dog. The cat is trying to catch the mouse but the mouse is smart enough to know that it should use the dog as cover. The cat has to get to the mouse without the dog getting to him.
It is very much a classic combination - as Roger Meyer says in The Simpsons `the animal food chain goes, mouse, cat, dog'. Warner Brothers basically gives us what many will recognise as a well used set up from the Tom & Jerry cartoon. What this means for the audience is that it is a better version of T&J if you happen to like the unique sense of humour that exists in most of these WB cartoons.
The plot is nothing unique but the delivery makes it better, with the jokes actually being quite inventive rather than just the usual chase stuff. The characters are mixed. The dog is a straight lift from every bulldog of every cartoon, however both the cat and the mouse are slimmer and a bit sharper in terms of wit - they may lack a little in the way of well known character, but I think they delivered well.
Overall this may not be new ground that WB was breaking but he showed that they could take any type of cartoon and, with a few personal touches from talented writers/directors, that they could refresh it with their unique brand of inventive humour.
