Captain & the Kids - Captains Christmas (HD)

Captain and the kids "Captains Christmas ". Cartoon from 1938.

Wikipedia states:-
The Katzenjammer Kids is an American comic strip created by the German immigrant Rudolph Dirks and drawn by Harold H. Knerr for 37 years (1912 to 1949). It debuted December 12, 1897 in the American Humorist, the Sunday supplement of William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.

After a series of legal battles between 1912 and 1914, Dirks left the Hearst organization and began a new strip, first titled Hans und Fritz and then The Captain and the Kids. It featured the same characters seen in The Katzenjammer Kids, which was continued by Knerr. The two separate versions of the strip competed with each other until 1979, when The Captain and the Kids ended its six-decade run. The Katzenjammer Kids is still distributed by King Features, making it the oldest comic strip still in syndication and the longest-running ever

Thanks for posting. I remember videoing this short from the T.V. in the early 80's but there must be two versions of the soundtrack as I seem to remember on my one, the Long John character having a Cornish accent and he recited a bit of The Night Before Christmas at the very beginning when he is spying on the house. Still great to see this again, thanks for bringing back the wonderful memories!

Mel Blanc was the voice of John Silver. I remember there was a Spanish Audio version of this cartoon but with a different musical soundtrack.
