You neglect to mention that it was banned from exhibition in the United States due to content "that overtly inflammed and promoted a casual disregard of morality, values vital to the Americal way of life, and, more important, unenforceable statutes of the Federal legal system."

As a result of losing what was vitually the only profitable market for short films, the American circuit of motion picture theatres, the Koochiching studio went bankrupt shortly after the release of this, its only "Supermarkerchrome" picture.

You are right. The Hays office censors claimed they were also disturbed that a notorious 'blue' cartoon character was part of an "all-ages: anti-Prohibition cartoon.

They were forced out of business in northern Minnesota, but that is when they moved to the Rain Coast and re-organized as an animation co-op. Since many of their animations were silent, they were able to do well enough exporting to foreign markets. And smuggling political films into the USA for shows outside of the usual movie theater distribution.

Hey, they weren't actually that outfit, *Kootchikootch X" in the early 70's were they? Didn't they make a cheezy sexploitation cartoon features directed by Ralph Bakshi called "Hobbit Skin" and "Lord of the Bling"?

They were helping the Canadian Anarchist Syndicate economy. And they were only sub-contractors. For the Bakshi jobs, anyway....
