    Possum Pearl was a Famous Studios Noveltoon
    This was a Famous Studios Noveltoon that I just discovered on YouTube. The title character is a heavyset woman desperate for a man to cuddle to. She seems to be a version of Sadie Hawkins-a character made up by Al Capp for the "Li'l Abner" comic strip who had to chase a man to get married to one. So, yes, any man she comes after wants to run away from her! One who almost gets stuck is a robber named Slippery Sam when he hides in her cabin. I'll just now say that I found plenty funny in this one especially the reactions of a doll guy in her wedding cake and that of a bird in a cage when she sings songs like "I'm in the Mood for Love" or "Lover"! The story was by Popeye voice artist Jack Mercer (who does all the male voices here) and hillbilly comic Judy Canova was Possum Pearl. So that's a recommendation for this cartoon.
