Destination Meat Ball (1951)
Directed by Walter Lantz
Overview
The cartoon opens with a line of people (including Woody) drooling at the window of a market butcher’s shop (Buzz Buzzard). What ensues is a short series of gags about how Buzz dishonestly (and literally) “jacks” up all his prices. Since Woody is broke as usual, he sneaks in and gets thrown out by Buzz. On the way out, Woody collides with a bottle of invisible ink and turns partially invisible. Buzz can only see parts of Woody’s body and thinks he’s been dismembered, (this scene is actually kind of gruesome) so he sweeps him into a trap door to get rid of him. When Woody awakes, he realizes what is happening, and douses himself with the rest of the ink…
