Toons You Might've Missed: Swifty & Shorty (1964)

Swifty & Shorty, a series of 16 shorts produced by Paramount for theatrical use, was based on the comedy recordings of Eddie Lawrence, who also voiced both central characters.

In "The Once Over", it's a trip to the barber shop.......



Not sure if these ever showed up on Nickelodeon, which ran some lesser known Paramount shorts back in the day.

Rating: B-.

They did. The Swifty & Shorty aired as part of Nick's Cartoon Kablooey, which, as you mentioned, was a showcase for Paramount shorts, as well occasionally on Weinerville.

Have to remember to do a piece on Kablooey at some point. Thanks.
