Dentist Love is a silent short animated film by Winkler Pictures, and among the many starring the comic strip character Krazy Kat.
The cartoon starts with Krazy and a spider monkey playing banjos on opposite sides of a hilltop house. But because they are playing different tunes, they find each other's play disrupting. The two meet each other face to face, resulting in Krazy smashing his banjo on the monkey's head, leaving the simian completely unconscious. Krazy then takes some of the monkey's candy before wandering the outdoors.
As Krazy wanders further, he encounters a hippo having a toothache, and a rat who tries to extract the tooth. After being unable to remove it, the rat gives up and tells Krazy to take over. Krazy tries to pull the tooth but finds it very difficult. He even goes as far as entering the hippo's stomach but to no avail. As a last resort, Krazy places a stick of dynamite in the cavity of the tooth and lights the fuse. Following the blast, Krazy manages to take a pair of teeth, and even receives payment as a money note falls from above. The hippo, however, is nowhere to be seen, suggesting that the animal might have been obliterated by the explosion.
Krazy Kat is an American newspaper comic strip, created by cartoonist George Herriman, which ran from 1913 to 1944. It first appeared in the New York Evening Journal, whose owner, William Randolph Hearst, was a major booster for the strip throughout its run. The characters had been introduced previously in a side strip with Herriman's earlier creation, The Dingbat Family, after earlier appearances in the Herriman comic strip Baron Bean. The phrase "Krazy Kat" originated there, said by the mouse by way of describing the cat. Set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home of Coconino County, Arizona, KrazyKat's mixture of offbeat surrealism, innocent playfulness and poetic, idiosyncratic language has made it a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than 80 years.
