Rudolf Ising's penultimate Barney Bear cartoon is a typically beautiful-looking effort from his and Hugh Harman's studio. Barney is trying to plant a victory garden, full of visual puns, and he has a nice crop coming along. But here comes a mole to rob him of the fruits of his hard labor.
Although Ising's work had developed a sense of humor, and I think this is a very amusing cartoon, its jokes are not visual.
