Noteworthy for introducing Max Fleischer's rotoscope animation to the public with the fluid movement of the Clown character. The Clown was animated over live-action reference footage of Max's brother Dave Fleischer, who worked as a clown on Coney Island.
The first of animator Max Fleischer's innovative and popular "Out of the Inkwell" series starring his drawn Clown character (eventually dubbed Ko-Ko). This short subject was featured in Paramount-Bray Pictographs, No. 123 (1918), released on June 10, 1918.
