Hop, Skip, and a Chump

Hop, Skip, and a Chump is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.
==Summary==
A pair of Laurel and Hardy-like crows pursue Hopalong Casserole, a wily grasshopper whose fatal mistake is to believe a closed iris shot can shield him from his enemies.
==Plot==
The grasshopper Hopalong Casserole easily outwits two birds that are modeled on Laurel and Hardy; he substitutes a bee when they think they've trapped him in a bag, he lures one off a cliff (apparently these are flightless crows), he plays "The Storm" on a piano they are hiding in, and he escapes through the closing "iris out."
==Trivia==
The crows are caricatures of Laurel and Hardy.
Hopalong jumps into the end credits to avoid the crows.
