Have you ever noticed that most everything is alive in many cartoons? This one certainly is an example of that. In other words, inanimate objects somehow are people/ animals/monsters..... whatever.
In this one, Flip The Frog is a barber and his electric shaver is actually a mouth. When he's munched enough hairs off some customer, the "shaver" spits them out! The strap that hones the razor blade kicks Flip in the butt after being used. The barber's pole outside comes alive (and rotates thanks to little bugs on a treadmill inside.).
Those, and a bunch of other sight gags - i.e..fleas backing their bags and leaving a hairy beast after being shaved, a big spider playing the piano, dancing flowers and a dancing hot stove - dominate this somewhat-clever Flip The Frog cartoon. It wasn't bad and is a real window on the era when there were big poles outside the barber shop, and barbers used mugs and straight razors, etc. The only weak spot was the ending. It looked like they didn't know to end this cartoon.
Flip's shop certainly offered a lot for your money: complete haircut head-to-toe, a manicure, shoes shined, live entertainment
This cartoon was viewed on a DVD called "Cartoons That Time Forget: The UB Iwerks Collection Vol. 1."
