Signs of Spring

The Old Goat

It&apos;s spring and a goat is frolicking, the mosquitoes are looking for a meal, the cat is painting landscapes and Farmer Al Falfa is catching a nap under a tree. Shouldn&apos;t he be plowing or planting? All paths lead to Al, who soon is involved in a random series of chases with all the characters.

Farmer Al Falfa was Terry&apos;s first star -- he had introduced him in his second cartoon back in 1915 and he would continue into the 1930s. However, while some of his cartoons were good, far too many of them were constrained by Terry&apos;s grueling schedule -- a cartoon a week in the 1920s -- and tight-fistedness -- which kept him producing cartoons until the 1950s. There&apos;s not enough here to keep an audience really happy -- nor a swarm of mosquitoes.
