Blue Monday is an animated short that released in 1938 and is directed by William Hanna. It is the second Captain and the Kids cartoon.
Plot[]
After having been finally roused out of bed by the alarm clock, the Captain gets slapped in the face by his suspenders because the buttons are missing from his pants. He complains vociferously to Mama, who leaves him in charge of the household duties. While cleaning the dishes, he is attacked by the washing machine. He calls on the Inspector for help, but he is being besieged by a crazed vacuum cleaner. The two diabolical machines mutually destroy each other and half the house. The Captain is reduced to tears.
Notes[]
- The documentary "How Bill and Joe Met Tom and Jerry" contains high quality clips from this cartoon.[3]
