Jest of Honor

One of half a dozen movie cartoon's based on Soglow's "Little King" panel comic strip. These are among the best cartoons that Van Beuren turned out. Soglow did the writing and the simple black & white drawing that was in favor at Van Beuren matches Soglow's style and the strip was silent, which works well. Unhappily, there are only a few of these and none are in color.

Some of the jokes are standard cartoon jokes, but the good ones are about the Little King and his desire to not have to deal with the boring rituals of being royalty. Fortunately, there's always a hot dog vendor or mermaid around when you want one....
