La Cava also had the significant advantage over other studios of an unlimited budget: Hearst's business sense completely broke down when it came to his Hearst-Vitagraph News Pictorial and the "living comic strips" they contained.
Indeed, La Cava's main fault as a producer and director was that his cartoons were too clearly animated comic strips, hampered by speech balloons when the rival Bray Studio was creating more effective series with original characters.
He was apparently aware of this fault, and he had his animators study Charlie Chaplin films to improve their timing and characterization.
