An Original Vintage Snipe (measures 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" [20 x 21 cm]) (Learn More) The Weakly Reporter, the 1944 Chuck Jones Merrie Melodie Looney Tunes World War II (WWII) animated animation family comedy cartoon short featuring the voices of Bea Benaderet, Mel Blanc, and Frank Graham. The snipe for this cartoon has a wonderful image of the Statue of Liberty wearing a Civil Defense armband! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Warner Bros. in the 1930s and 1940s almost always made "stock" posters for their cartoons, choosing to save money by not making individual posters for each cartoon. Each stock poster had a blank area that measured roughly 8" x 9". The studio would print paper snipes that had information and an image about each specific cartoon, and those would be sent to theaters, who could paste it on their stock poster when they showed that specific cartoon. These paper snipes are incredibly rare. Sometimes they are found on the corresponding stock poster, and sometimes they are found loose (and of course, a collector that owns a loose snipe could acquire a stock one-sheet with a blank area and merge the two!). Also note that ANY movie paper from this cartoon short is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this snipe! Condition: good to very good. The snipe has a diagonal crease in the top right, a pinhole in each corner, and some faint stains around the edges. It has a collector's stamp on the back that bleeds through to the front in the bottom center. Learn More about condition grades
