"Gosh, Pluto..."

I got this beautiful Fred Moore drawing at a recent auction, and I love it.
It's from the short "Society Dog Show" 1939. Mickey and Pluto are pretty cartoony
characters, but in this sketch their sad attitudes feel so honest and real.

Can anybody come up with a more uplifting caption for it than:
 "Gosh Pluto, whatever happened to pencil animation?"
Let me know.
