Homer Pigeon needs glasses. He goes into the Army recruiting center by accident. There he is tested to a fare-thee-well.
Homer was an occasional star of Walter Lantz cartoons, appearing in -- according to the IMDb -- five of them from 1942 through 1968. Here, with director Alex Lovy clearly under the influence of Tex Avery, the jokes come fast and furious, even though they never approach the genre-bending insanity of Avery.
The result, nonetheless, is a solid cartoon. Neither Lovy nor writer Homer Brightman is among my favorite cartoon teams, but they were quite capable of turning out a fun bit of animation. This is one of them.
