Thirteen years before "Yellow Submarine" featured a Sea of Holes (one of which Ringo picked up and stuck in his pocket), Robert McKimson portrayed portable holes in "The Hole Idea". It's certainly a clever cartoon. I guess that it's sort of a cliché to depict a husband who forgets anniversaries - thereby incurring his wife's anger - and a presumably good invention getting used for illicit purposes.
But overall, this is definitely a neat one. I can't understand what some reviewers have against Robert McKimson; in my opinion, his cartoons weren't the best to come out of Warner Bros., but he truly had some neat ideas. You gotta admire this one.
