- Quotes
Jimmy Durante Buzzard: What I wouldn't give to sink my teeth into a big, thick, juicy T-bone steak, with gravy oozing out of it.
[picture of steak appears onscreen]
Title card: 3 minute intermission for drooling. The Management.
- Crazy creditsDuring the cartoon, a live-action shot of a steak is shown. At the end, the message "PATRONS ATTENTION" appears, followed by that same shot, with this voice-over: "Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. Due to the numerous requests received in the last five minutes, we're going to show you the steak again."

Featured review
bird teeth are weird
It's the Painted Desert. Jimmy Durante Buzzard and Joe Buzzard are starving. Then they spot a rabbit but he gets away. It's a Tex Avery cartoon. I don't know these characters. I would think that they would want Jimmy Durante to do the Jimmy Durante voice or else he would make a stink about that. As for the cartoon designs, I don't think that birds should have teeth especially when they open wide. The rows of teeth are weird. The premise is fine and the gags are good. The teeth is weird. I don't get the Meatless Tuesday gag. Was that a government suggestion during the war? It was probably a funnier punchline back in the day. The real stake visual is probably another one.
