It's because he was trying to get squished (as an act of suicide) as opposed to getting squished by a comedic accident. There are numerous Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes cartoons in which guns comically explode in people's faces, but there are other cartoons which were censored for featuring characters blowing their brains out, such as "For Scent-imental Reasons", "Hare Ribbin'" , and "An Itch in Time". Slapstick/comedic violence is considered acceptable for children's television, but suicide/jokes about suicide is not.
