Deitch's subject matter would NOT have been allowed in mainstream theaters back in the 30's.

Deitch was no paragon of virtue and his stuff was NOT family friendly or SFW. He was not committed to a set origin story for Waldo. Was he (1) a secret agent, (2)a demon reincarnation of Judas Iscariot trying to redeem himself, (3)a hallucination of a hopeless alcohol (Boulevard of Broken Dreams) or the offspring of an unnatura;l sex act ?

I used to see this and many other old B&W cartoons films on what is now channel 13 -then one day there was something wrong with the transmitter. My mother came over and switched the channel to -the Mickey Mouse Club ! I stayed with that for a long,long time.

I haven't seen this film since I was a kid. The last scene looked like the Cthulhu Mythos !
-
And the final scene looks like - the Cthulhu Mythos of Lovecraft !

Watching these animation s are really a trip when you're stoned and listening to early Pink Floyd.

They were a real couple of turds! They kill the poor camel for being thirsty, then skeletons entertain them and they hit one with his own leg and pull another's head off.

I guess this was the inspiration for Gene Deitch's Waldo comix stories. I've always wondered what he was referring to, and now I think I know.

It's Kim Deitch, Gene was his father. But, yeah those late 20's and early 30's cartoons are a huge influence on his comics. I love his stuff.
