The Isle of Pingo Pongo is a 1938 Merrie Melodies cartoon supervised by Tex Avery.[1] The short was released on May 28, 1938, and features an early version of Elmer Fudd.[2] This is the first of a series of travelogue spoofs, and the first Warner Bros. "spot gag" cartoon, where each vignette is punctuated by a moment of blackout.[3]
