Even though the story is a little bland (as educational films usually are), the artistic style of the animation is quite good. The gags are the best part of the film, however--creative and unpredictable. The taxes joke is tops. Check it out if you get a chance.

I was the writer/director of this film for the Detroit Jam Handy Organization, about 1951. It was a very low budget film, and I was a 25-year-old beginner. Roger Windsock was certainly not intended to be gay!!! Any "effeminate" actions you perceive would have to be blamed on my big macho animator, Rudy Zamora! Regards, Gene Deitch
