What happens

Bosko's Picture Show is a 1933 American animated comedy short film directed by Hugh Harman and Isadore Freleng. It is the 38th and final film in the Looney Tunes series starring Bosko and produced by Harman-Ising Productions. It is the last film in the series to be animated by Freleng, who was promoted to director upon returning, and Maxwell, who stopped animating and become production manager at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was released on August 22, 1933. The short is notorious for a line where Bosko appears to say the word "fuck", sparking debate on whether it was deliberate or the result of a technical error occluding a more innocuous term.
