| Description: | See catalog # 446392 for the end of the story JERRY THE TROUBLESOME TYKE - first episode Jerry is created - son of a nib and an inkpot! Sid Griffiths decides to teach him how to ride a horse. "And now, in this first issue of a new All-British series of Cartoons..." Animation featuring the fabulous Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. A pen magically writes the words: "His mother was a "Nib" and his father was a "Big Pot." - we see drawings of a pen and a bottle of ink. The ink pot takes off his lid and the pen jumps in. The pen jumps out again and begins drawing Jerry. The pen and ink do a little dance. Jerry is having a little sleep. A hand comes into shot and taps him on the shoulder. He wakes up and looks around- he is so cute! A newspaper cutting is shown to Jerry. It reads: "A cartoon dog wanted. Must be able to ride a horse. Apply PATHE studio." Jerry takes it and laughs. Then looks worried and shakes his head. He says: "But I can't ride a horse." Sid says "Well you must learn." Jerry grumbles but Sid puts a piece of paper on top of him. Jerry breaks through the paper saying "Hi! What's the Big Idea?" Sid draws a horse. Jerry points at the horse and laughs. He then punches it in the nose (for no apparent reason!) The horse collapses and stars appear. The horse stands up. A question mark appears between them and then steam comes out of the horse's nose - it looks angry. Jerry shakes. The horse bares its teeth at Jerry who decides to try and get on the horse's back. He climbs on. | |
