   	Is there anything more freaky than a silent cartoon?  No, there   
   is not.  From the deep vaults of Fleischer Brothers bizarreness, Koko   
   the Clown and his dog find their way to the Earth's Control Room and it   
   all goes terribly wrong.   
      
   	As with most of the Koko The Clown cartoons this has interactions   
   between the animator and the characters, as well as about six solid minutes   
   of freakiness.  It also features a *really* neat introduction for Koko.

   	Matt Groening cited it as an example of great cartoon scripting,   
   which is a touch ironic since the cartoons back then were largely made   
   by piling up a bunch of scenes until they ran out of film, though this   
   one actually has got a pretty straightforward plot line:
