No, it is the earliest example of smears. Earlier forms of limited animation existed before but you will not find any smears from a cartoon before 1942.

I get what you're saying but what did you expect?

I'd like to hear more on this kind of thing. What are some other technical cartoon firsts?

Stand up and fight, you coward, bully, cad and thief!

>>89396635
A car.

>>89395162
Considering the two best cartoons of all time, Duck Amuck and Rabbit of Seville, came out in the 50's, I'd have to disagree.

Are you retarded? Off the top of my head, this cartoon came out 6 months before Dover Boys and it has extremely visible smears.
Keep going back and you'll find smears in much earlier cartoons, all the way back to the early 1930s.

Dover Boys had EXTENSIVE use of smears and limited animation, but it WASN'T THE FIRST.

Blow Me Down. Pretty explicit smear. You could argue that the I Yam What I Yam smear isn't a smear, but this one is 100% a visual trick to emulate motion blur. Not speed lines, not rubber hose, but motion blur, i.e. a smear.
