- “Red White and Boo” by Isadore Klein, directed by Izzy Sparber and Myron Waldman (21 October 1955).
Every Casper cartoon had the same plot, including at least one (“Red, White and Boo”) from 1955 where Casper wonders whether people in the past will also be scared of him, so he uses a time machine to visit a caveman, Robert Fulton, Paul Revere, General Washington, and a Revolutionary War battle.
—Michael Main
Gee, maybe people in the past won’t be scared of me.
