Koko's Hot Ink (1929) ***

Max Fleischer torments Koko and Fitz by asking them to break a pile of rocks and answering their pleas for a nice swim by drawing a pond of boiling water (useful only to catch a fried fish). The poor characters manage to escape from their sadistic animator, but they only end up causing mayhem at a real-life New York swimming pool.
