A Bosko Cartoon Collection
-https://publicdomainmovie.net/movie/a-bosko-cartoon-collection
Bosko is an animated cartoon character created by Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising in 1927 and the first recurring character in the Leon Schlesinger cartoon series Looney Tunes. "Although Harman and Ising based Bosko's looks on Felix the Cat, Bosko, like Mickey, got his personality from the blackface characters of the minstrel and vaudeville shows popular in the 1930s. Whereas Disney masked Mickey by making him a mouse, Harman and Ising made Bosko a genuine black boy. Keeping with the stereotypes of the minstrel shows, Bosko is a natural at singing, dancing, and playing any instrument he encounters." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosko). He is a curious and lively boy who finds a (musical) solution to every problem, accompanied by his girlfriend Honey and his dog Bruno. The plots are generally weak though. Some Bosko cartoons found on the Internet weren't included in this collection. The following cartoons are included (brief descriptions from The Public Domaain Movie Database): - Congo Jazz, 1930 Bosko runs into all kinds of wild animals during this jungle visit. - Ain't Nature Grand!, 1931 Bosko decides to take a break and enjoy nature.

THE ORPHANS BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
It was a black plutonium night;no star light and not even a moonbeam to break the darkness.
The weather was so cold if you placed a pint of milk outside the contents inside the plastic bottle would be frozen into icicles.
In the background and car is heard screeching off the tarmac road ;leaving behind four forelorn subject s .
Each wandering what had their done to deserve to arrive at this situation.
The four looked at their new surrounding s and instantly began to sense a dread of foreboding was in the atmosphere.
Clive the oldest of the four spoke frist.
"Well it's not use feeling scared and sorry for youselfs as we need to get moving to find food;something to drink and some forms of warmth if we going to see a way out of this situation "
Clive had ginger hair was physically stronger then the other remaining three orphans.
Clive had an inbred sense of responsibility inherited from his mother and father who both instilled in him that he as the big brother to his brother and sister s it was his job to protect them.
Annie in her usual timid voice said.
" It's easy for you to be notified scared ;I don't want to move in case mum and dad come to find us?"
Annie had jet black hair and was naturally shy and timid from an early age which sometimes held her back from enjoying day to day thing so the rest of her family took for granted.
Thomas with his multi coloured hair which to him made it look like he was a bit rebellious and thought rules were for square s :people who liked to do boring things: was the next to speak up .
"Oh don't be silly Annie ;mum and dad did not even see us leave as we were forced against our will and dumped wherever here is"
Sally the final member of these abandoned orphans was the last to speak.
She had fine blonde hair which to some appeared white which she never truly understood.
"No that's do as Clive says as I am beginning to feel hungry and to be really honest quite cold ".
All four journeyed on,the trek was getting rougher due to the terrain of the unfamiliar scenic rustic countryside.
Each of the four were beginning to tire their limbs feeling like lead weights.
Thier bellys were rumbling :thrist queaching thier dry chapped lips when suddenly in the distance using his excellent eyesight Clive spots a bright light in a square shaped window.
" Look Annie, Thomas ,Sally hope is in the horizon "
"Why?" Exclaimed Sally.
"Don't you see that bright lights in the square window it means possible food,water; warmth "
Says Clive.
"What if the people in the home are like the others that were so cruel and horrid to us in the frist place and left us in the cold ?"said Thomas.
"Not everyone is the same we have to take a leap of faith to have a chance of survival "says Annie.
Inside the house with the window with the bright light on were sitting Mr and Mrs Sherwood.
An elderly couple sipping a cup of tea and eating a round of cheese and pickle sandwiches listening to the local radio phone in talk show.
Mrs Sherwood got up to take the dirty cups and dishes to the sink which just happened to be by the window showing the bright light against the darkness almost like when people used to put candles in the window to show the way home to their loved ones the way home.
Poor Clive; Annie,Thomas; Sally decided it was time to sleep their eyelid s were getting really heavy even a matchstick would not stop them from closing.
The sandman was waiting and by his side was a dark shadow of whom one day we all shall face and his name was death.
Annie let out a final sounding faint cry which luckly or was it fate was heard by Mrs Sherwood as she opened the window to let out the steam from the hot water tap to get ready to wash all the items used for teatime usually in fairy liquid.
She always used fairy washing up liquid as the adverts told you it was the best.
On hearing the faint cry she informed Mr Sherwood to go outside to look were the cry came from.
So Mr Sherwood got up from his chair went towards the back door and opened it to his astonishment four young cats were curled up looking bedraggled and on the verge of losing their tiny life's.
In a flash he scooped all of them up and quickly put them inside by the warm fire and Mrs Sherwood made sure to give them food and some milk full of cream.
So that's when the orphans became adopted as part of the family of Mr and Mrs Sherwood.
