AIDES Smutley Getting Tail
French AIDS awareness group AIDES has launched an animated cartoon, “Getting Tail”, in which Smutley (a reference to Felix the Cat) has intimate relations with creatures great and small. The short finishes with a moral for all, reminding us that unlike the cat, humans are mortal after all.
