Bosko's Holiday
About Bosko's Holiday
Bosko sleeps through a call from Honey until the alarm clock, itself late, is jolted by the telephone and finally wakes him. He drives off in the car from Sinkin' in the Bathtub, sends its litter of little cars home, and mends a broken banjo string with a mouse's tail. Honey comes along, and so does her dog, who lets the air out of a tire and then spoils their stop on a log.

Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising directed the eleventh Bosko Looney Tune. Isadore Freleng and Paul Smith animated. Warner Bros. and Vitaphone distributed it. The earliest known release date is May 2, 1931. The short reuses animation from earlier Bosko cartoons and puts the gags ahead of the songs, which were shifting over to Merrie Melodies.
