With all the talk on the internet these days surrounding the latest from Quentin Tarantino and its purpose as fantasy or as an inappropriate and irresponsible rendering of history, I can’t help but find this cartoon (below) interesting. Tex Avery’s Wolf Blitz was apparently made in 1942 and was banned.

In some ways it can be seen as a morale booster but, much like Inglourious Basterds, it makes the hunted the hunters. What do you think?  Is the cartoon below so bad, and if so, does it connect to the politics of Inglourious Basterds?  Can we excuse fantasy that, while interesting, might have audiences cheering at a “gleeful celebration of savagery”?
