Lone Fisherman

1896 · 1 min

A tiny, wordless slice of slapstick mischief, over in a blink and pleasant enough to watch with half an eye.

Overview
A fellow in a wide-brimmed hat, with a willowy stick for a rod and a baited hook, sits down on a plank hanging over a bridge above a stream. He sticks the rod under his seat and picks up his bottle to take a swig. Behind him creeps a joker who removes the large flagstone that's holding the fisherman's plank in place.
