What happens

The Feather Pushers is a short animated film featuring Krazy Kat, appearing in January of 1926. It is one of the few Krazy films directed by Bill Nolan who started the third season after the character had two runs previously. It has occasionally been mis-cited as Feather Duster for 1925, but no film by that name appears in the 1925 film magazines or in books about Krazy Kat, but The Feather Pushers appears in January. The release date is also sometimes written as April, but Motion Picture News announced it as a January release. It is not known whether the name is a sendup of a popular boxing series beginning in 1922, The Leather Pushers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
