Now That Summer is Gone is a 1938 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin.[1] The short was released on May 14, 1938.[2]

Plot[edit]

As the winter approaches, squirrels diligently gather nuts for survival, but a young squirrel seeks easy gains through gambling despite his father's warnings. Ignoring caution, he loses all their winter provisions in dice games. Desperate to cover his tracks, he lies about being robbed, only to discover that his father was his opponent. Furious, the father attempts to discipline his son, but the young squirrel's flippant attitude shows he has not learned his lesson.
