"Oh, boy! A pie-ana!" Although director Frank Capra, who made training films for the War Department during WWII, actually created the character of the hapless Private Snafu, used in a number of animated military training films, it was Warner Bros. who took over the series. The Snafu toons were designed to provide an entertaining and usually-risqué treatment of such otherwise important-but-humdrum topics as malaria and camouflage. (p3 featured "Spies" last year.) "Booby Traps" (1944) was directed by Bob Clampett. Even if you're not a toonophile, you're sure to recognize Snafu's voice without any help from me. One other detail: this is, I think, the first appearance of the "Endearing Young Charms"/exploding piano gag.
