From 1967, with the song dubbed in a new stereo remix I made to expand the orchestral section! (...unlike the newly remastered "Magical Mystery Tour" CD!) This episode was inspired by the fact that the "Strawberry Field" of the song had been based on a real-life Salvation Army orphanage in Liverpool. When the Beatles stop by a dilapidated orphanage, the hostile attitude of the children (who are drawn in muted colors like the downtrodden Pepperlanders in "Yellow Submarine") is explained by the Beatles' driver, James, as being being due to their "sociological environment". So the Beatles set about to create an Elysian playground with song! John's "Musketeer Gripweed", of his film "How I Won the War", has a cameo! (Thanks, anti-wars!)

Note: John's final line, "It's all in the mind, y'know!" would be echoed by George in "Yellow Submarine", verbatim in a DVD-only scene during the coda of "All You Need Is Love", plus approximately quoted earlier in all versions of the film (and as well used in print advertising for the film).
Also: the slide seen is the "Helter Skelter" type, the kind that would itself inspire a Beatles song the following year!

  • damn you are so awesome  for posting these cartoons

  • GOOD POST YOU BIG GOOFBALL

  • I love the part where Driver has to comfort the Beatles after they get attacked and are whimpering like babies. It's so humorous and cute at the same time.

  • When did Paul McCartney play on a six-string Rickenbaker violin bass ? I've only seen him play a four string violin bass & did'nt know there was a six-string model too...

  • Delightful! This time not as much of the first episodes anarchical humor, but truly according to this song spirit. Exactly as the Fab 4 were developing through the years. Strawberry Fields forever!!

  • those r the same as my brother's glasses
