I had a business called the "French Door Connection" in the 80's. We made doors and installed them.

I invented 2 cartoon characters, "Frenchy (a cat with a French beret and a mustache) and a mouse I called "Door Mouse." The mouse had a tool belt with this freakin' over sized hammer dragging along.

The gags were basically 2 frame Tom and Jerry stuff. Frenchy would set it up and the mouse would "nail" it. It really helps to have a pair to play off one another like so many comedy teams.

Single frame cartoons play a lot on irony. Can you do that and be funny? Not too many can.
