Betty Boop: More Pep

Due to the continued training of the new SSS personnel (Benjamin & Colleen), the SSS Saturday morning cartoon is moving to Friday afternoon. 

In this Fleischer Studios short from 1936, "Uncle Max" [Fleischer] draws Pudgy (a dog), who is a bit too sleepy to perform his tricks.  Betty draws up a device to give him more pep, and it goes a bit haywire, infusing everyone around with excess energy.  There are some fun live action shots in this short.  From the Internet Archive, here is  More Pep.
