Walter Lantz old-carbuckslittles I never tried to make a cartoon for a certain age bracket. I just tried to make entertaining pictures.

They would put a little notice up on the bulletin board saying: 'The next Oswald will take place at the North Pole. Anybody having any gags, please turn them in before such a date.' If you turned in gags regularly, the way Tex Avery, Cal Howard, Jack Carr and two or three others of us did, you'd be called into the gag meeting.
