Bosko's Store is a Looney Tunes short released on August 13, 1932, directed by Hugh Harman and starring Bosko, Honey, and Wilber (Wilber the kitten). It is the 21st short in the series.
Bosko runs a general store and begins his day whistling while washing windows. He receives a phone order for bologna and uses an electric fan as a meat slicer. A dachshund enters, eats all the bologna, and inflates like an accordion. When Bosko chases him, the dog runs through the fan, gets sliced like bologna, and reassembles on the other side.
Bosko dances while dusting, causing eggs to chirp and bologna to bark. He dusts a life-size ad of a woman, who comes to life and hits him with a rolling pin. A prank-calling mouse (a Mickey Mouse lookalike) razzes him with the joke: "Have you got any dried fish?" — "Sure!" — "Well, why don’t you give 'em a drink!"
Later, Bosko sweeps the porch and dances with his broom. Honey and Wilber arrive. After Bosko gives a nickel for the player piano, Wilber eats bananas and shoots one into Bosko’s face. Bosko stumbles into a basket on a pulley, crashes into a wall, and knocks over a barrel of molasses, getting stuck.
Wilber falls into a meat grinder, coming out as tiny clones that reassemble. Bosko chases him barefoot, but Wilber drops cans on his head and finally drags barbed wire between Bosko’s legs, leaving him in pain as the cartoon ends
