YEAR: 1939
DIRECTOR: Tex Avery
PINBALL MODEL(S): N/A
GAME LOCATION: Tavern/Lodge
NOTES: Cartoons have been having fun with the possibilities of the pin-table since the early days of the art-form. As with most animation, comedy is achieved by exaggerating and distorting the realism of the objects depicted. The "marble game" that Dan is playing is a bizarre incarnation of a modern pin and a European table-top target game. Of course, the physics of this animated universe precludes the game from responding in a predictable way, and hilarity ensues.
