Was violence a common element in Avery's cartoons?

  • Yes

  • No

  • Only in certain sequences

  • It was hinted but not shown explicitly

Answer

Violence was a common element in Avery's cartoons, but it was often used for comedic effect. For example, in the 1930 cartoon "The Three Little Pigs," the wolf is shown getting blown up, crushed by a house, and eaten by a giant spider. Avery's cartoons were also known for their slapstick humor, which often involved characters being hit, kicked, or thrown around.
