Let’s take a closer look at the theatricals: Myron Waldman animated and the best that can be said is that it’s certainly more visually “energetic” than the other Paramount theatricals of the era.

Panhandling On Madison Avenue, Call Me A Taxi (embed below), The Once Over… you can hear what they were going for. Seriously, turn off the picture, sit back and just listen. ![]() The ones written by Lawrence – some are routines lifted directly off his old comedy records – are very funny to listen to. Thus the Paramount powers-that-be decided to transform Percy and Ralph into the alliterative Swifty and Shorty and took a chance committing to 16 shorts (not counting the previous four Percy and Ralph’s – making an even 20), perhaps hoping to crash the networks with their own series of adult-skewing animated comedies by flooding the market in Spring-Summer 1964. Lawrence was a versatile voice artist, a funny writer and clever in coming up with comic situations. I love Eddie Lawrence – and Seymour Kneitel did too. Why nine cartoons (an odd number)? Why the sudden boost in the number of theatricals? I do not have all the answers – but I speculate that Swifty and Shorty was Paramount’s response to the current spate of prime time television cartoons – “Illustrated radio” as Chuck Jones has coined them – where, like Calvin and The Colonel, they recruited vocal comedians to do routines that work as radio, but not necessarily as cartoons in the classic sense. The Comic Kings are out and Swifty and Shorty have been added to the mix. ![]()

The blades are both strong and fast, so the lack of variable motor speeds can be safely overlooked. We're not sure how much use we are going to get out of the lid-installed flip mirror, however it could be the perfectly placed accessory for those using their blenders for that after-workout energy boost.

Subtle signs include stiffness, shifting leg lameness, decreased ambulation, weight loss, reluctance to rise, and abnormal posture after rising. Early arthritic signs may be subtle or severe. All synovial membranes can be affected by CAE virus, and the number of joints affected in any one animal can vary. Joints that are commonly affected (in descending prevalence) include: carpal joints, tarsal joints, stifle joints, fetlock joints, alantooccipital joint, and coxofemoral joints. “Most goats infected with CAE virus are asymptomatic, but there are five major clinical presentations associated with viral infection including arthritis, encephalitis, interstitial pneumonia, mastitis, and progressive weight loss.9,16 The arthritic form of CAE viral infection is the most common manifestation of the disease and is generally observed in sexually mature goats (6 months and older).12,16 The arthritis tends to be chronic and progressive, though there have been reports of a sudden onset of lameness. I don’t usually quote large sections of information from other sources, but I wanted people to be aware of the severity of CAE symptoms, so I’m directly quoting this information on the symptoms of CAE from the Veterinary Clinical Pathology Clerkship Program from the University of Georgia: It is not passed from feces, breeding, or sharing food and water. ![]() Goats pass CAE to each other via infected colostrum, milk, or blood.

In 1946, James Watson Hendry resolved these issues by inventing a machine that relied on a rotating screw rather than a plunging mechanism. While the Hyatts’ process made using plastic more feasible, it was not flawless and could result in imperfections. Initially, goods traditionally made of expensive materials that were in high demand and short supply-ivory, tortoise shell, and gemstones-were targeted for manufacture. In this way, the Hyatts made it possible to cheaply produce all sorts of products in quantity. A plunger, functioning like a large hypodermic needle, compressed heated celluloid and then injected it into a mold. John Wesley Hyatt and his brother Isaiah received a patent in 1872 for an apparatus to improve the manufacture of products made from the early plastic called celluloid. The original process used to manufacture the plastic flamingos, known as injection mold technology, dates to the nineteenth century. Anthony Stewart’s article, “Ballerinas in Pink,” in National Geographic Magazine, October 1957. ![]() The inspiration for Donald Featherstone’s ornamental flamingos was Carleton Mitchell and B. Union Products hoped the faux coral-colored bird would offer customers a little cachet as well as tap into other trends of the day, including interest in Caribbean culture and love of all things pink. The exotic bird was also culturally connected to South Florida-a fashionable vacation destination for the wealthy for decades-where flamingos had once lived in great numbers. Americans had long associated the flamingo with South America and the Caribbean, the bird’s native habitat. Union Products merchandise appealed to first-time homeowners of post-World War II working-class subdivisions who were looking to add pizazz to their property.įeatherstone’s second assignment for Union Products (out of almost 650) was to design an ornamental flamingo. The town was a hotspot of plastic production, with sixty companies making everything from Foster Grant eyeglass frames to Tupperware. He worked for Union Products of Leominster, Massachusetts, which manufactured plastic lawn and garden decorations. In 1956, Don Featherstone, a recent art school graduate, became an industrial designer. In searching for their whereabouts, I became curious about who had created them and how they were made, so I decided to look into it.
