Comments

From Gijs Grob : Alice and Julius are on a safari in the jungle. The cartoon consists of several unrelated gags: Julius encounters some crocodiles, two elephants go bathing, Julius makes a barber sign post out of a tiger's tail, and both Alice and Julius are chased by lions (a scene similar to the finale of Alice's pilot cartoon). The cartoon contains many surreal gags, a lot of them unashamedly Felix the Cat-like. Alice's role, however, is extremely limited here.
