Notes: At the movies, Silly and Ziggy see "an old picture" - Frankenstein (Universal Pictures, 1931). They then meet "Dr. Picklestein," who uses electricity to create a monster out of loaves of bread.

Notes: Ziggy rides a racehorse named "Tea Biscuit," an allusion to champion thoroughbred Seabiscuit (1933-1947). He feeds
the horse "Fleeties, the Breakfast Food of Chumps," an allusion to General Mills' Wheaties breakfast cereal, whose
slogan since 1933 had been "The Breakfast of Champions." His opponent in the race is a mustachioed villain
named "Simon Degree," an allusion to wicked slaveowner Simon Legree in the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet
Beecher Stowe (1852). l
