He was the lightest big man on his feet I ever saw.
The Comique shorts he did with Keaton are super, and not just because Buster’s in them. Arbuckle had an absurd sensibility that really blossomed once he got away from Keystone, and some of it survives in the Vitaphone shorts he did toward the end.
