The Scrappy picture below — which is from a larger Columbia ad — is yet another Film Daily find. This time, however, I didn't find it. I merely stole it from the estimable Don M. Yowp, who discovered it and posted it on my Facebook page, bless him.
Over at his Tralfaz blog, Don posted more cartoon-related Film Daily ads, from 1936. I love 'em all, even though none of them depict Scrappy. He also blogged about Film Daily news stories which did a remarkably thorough job of tracking new hires at Leon Schlesinger's studio.
Tralfaz is worth checking out in general; it's chockful of good stuff, as is Don's other, entirely early-Hanna-Barbera-centric blog, Yowp.
