    • Trivia
      In his 1993 book about Tex Avery, animation specialist Pierre Lambert reveals that Tex Avery didn't really like this cartoon. The artist once said in an interview: "It was one of those where we were stuck and made gag after gag, but there was nothing to elaborate on. We used to put what we felt was the strongest gag at the end. It made a little entertainment, but it led to nothing. These were real scams and I hated to do them, but sometimes we had no other choice. "

    One of a series of cartoons describing the future of a particular aspect of everyday life

    Tex Avery did a series of cartoons describing the future-here he describes what the "Car of Tomorrow" might look like-in typical Tex Avery fashion, it is the starting point for some sight gags galore fired rapidly, one after another. There is some verbal humor in the narration, including one joke reminiscent of Death Race 2000! The best of the "Tomorrow" series, it's an often hysterically funny short. Runs on Cartoon Network fairly often. Recommended.
