[4][5] Gould and Harrison were subsequently assigned a unit (mainly producing the Krazy Kat series), which they helmed as co-directors, animators and storymen for the following decade.

While Harrison's departure in 1940 dissolved their longtime partnership, Gould would continue to work for Mintz/Screen Gems until 1941, when Columbia decided to "clean house" by laying off their in-house staff.

He, along with fellow Screen Gems alumni Arthur Davis, Lou Lilly and Frank Tashlin, arrived at the Warner Brothers cartoon studio in 1942 where he worked as an animator for Bob Clampett.

His last credited cartoon at Warner Bros. (the Bugs Bunny short The Windblown Hare) was released in 1949, with his final contribution being Hippety Hopper the same year, where he was left uncredited.

Devon Baxter notes Gould's style for its "broad distortion and foreshortening", while Micheal Barrier akin's his animation to "gaudy mini-carnivals".
