Out Of The Inkwell
boblipton3 October 2021
When Koko assembles himself from the ink bottle, he discovers Max Fleischer is working on an unrelated cartoon, one about a boxing kangaroo. When Max goes to speak with a pretty girl at the door, Koko takes his revenge on his rival.

Koko was one of the two great cartoon series of the 1920s, along with Felix the Cat. Because Koko existed partly in the real world and partly in the cartoon world, the Fleischers could play with the logic of the situations, mixing and matching their assumptions, as they do here.

mean boy Koko
SnoopyStyle3 October 2021
Koko the Clown flows out of the inkwell onto the page. He finds that animator Max Fleischer is working on another cartoon called Boxing Kangaroo. While Max is away talking to a lady, Koko swings over to the other page and soon, he's fighting the kangaroo whether it likes it or not. Koko is an A-hole and I like it. I like that the kangaroo is the adult one of the two. It's also the earliest and first Koko for me.
