The Lethal North American Spitting Woodpecker



I wrote in Eighteen Comedians of Silent Film about Larry Semon's obsession with squirting critters. I recently discovered two more instances in which these wildlife anomalies turned up in a Semon film.


Frank Alexander vs. a baby alligator in School Days (1920)



Larry Semon vs. a woodpecker in A Simple Sap (1928)



What is woodpecker spew made of exactly?
