Back when cartoons and film itself was brand new to the world, it was a novelty enjoyed by adults more than children. At first you go “ha. that’s pretty raunchy for that time!” then “…wow, that’s actually pretty dirty”, then “dude…seriously?…” then “how come they don’t make cartoons like that anymore?

According to Disney animator Ward Kimball: “The first porno-cartoon was made in New York. It was called ‘Eveready Harton’ and was made in the late 20’s, silent, of course—by three studios. Each one did a section of it without telling the other studios what they were doing. Studio A finished the first part and gave the last drawing to Studio B. Involved were Max Fleischer, Paul Terry and the Mutt and Jeff studio. A couple of guys who were there tell me the laughter almost blew the top off the hotel where they were screening it.”
