| Speedy versus the cats |
Speedy Gonzales, “the fastest mouse in all Mexico,” faced several foes, including Warner Bros.’ favorite cartoon cat, Sylvester. But in one of the funniest cartoons ever made, Speedy faces a chubby cat named Jose and a skinny cat named Manuel.
Mexicali Schmoes (1959) shows the two hungry cats being constantly outwitted and outrun by Speedy. At the end, Jose catches the slowest mouse in all Mexico, Slowpoke Rodriquez—who, unfortunately for the cat, also packs a gun.
