I want to make a few comments on today's and yesterday's show. First of all, I really liked "Wholly Smoke," because it sends out a good message. It makes me sick to find so many people smoking at my University! I wish they could learn something from that cartoon.

"Dough Re Me-Ow" has to be the best Arthur Davis cartoon. (without Daffy that is) It's hilarious how dumb that cat is. And his birth certificate which literally says "You're Four!"

Other than that it seemed that they showed cartoons which have been over played (Ex: "Wild and Wooly Hare," "Water, Water Every Hare.") These cartoons were funny the first time, but come on, CN. How many times can we hear, "From now on you fight's my way, Dirty!" or "Almost perfect. If you only had a living brain," without going crazy. Also, there's "Rabbit Transit." That was the only Bugs/Cecil cartoon I've seen. I've never seen the first two cartoons in that series. I wish CN would play them more often. Well, bye now.

The Bugs/Cecil cartoons was regulary seen on CN! I think where "Tortoise Beats Hare" where the short was playing none often on this trilogy.

"Tortoise Wins By a Hare" where air on Looney Tunes Show 3/16 edition.

"Rabbit Transit" where the only cartoon on this series where i watch on Real Video. It's on time-compressed but not the dubbed version.

Thanks, Cartoon Man. But it seems like "Rabbit Transit" is the only one of the trilogy I'm ever able to catch on CN. Oh, I forgot to mention this before, but I thought I'd comment on "Really Scent." Not the best Pepe le Pew. Probably because this was done by Chuck Jones' animator Abe Levitow, not Chuck himself. I find it strange that a cat would happen to be born with a white stripe on her back, at least Chuck Jones had more logical ways of making that happen. Also, having a narrator in that one was sort of distracting.

Really? I tend to think of "Really Scent" as probably the best Pepe le Pew short of the later 50s. Breaks from the formula with an interesting plot and a twist at the end.

Another oddball cartoon shown this morning was "Quackodile Tears." Art Davis' final directed effort for WB, and it is also refreshing and fun, especially for a 60s short. I remember my brother and I really liking this one when I was little.


Jack :D

I agree about "Really Scent" Jack. In the last 5-6 years on the LePew series, Chuck Jones seemed to fall too much in love with the verbal suaveness of the character, and the cartoons themselves became either very talky and/or very predictable. Levitow took almost every formula aspect of the series and turned it on its head -- the female cat wants to date Pepe if she can figure out how to stand the odor; the stripe is real; Pepe actually figures out he has an odor problem; and the same end twist from "For Scent-imental Reasons" closes out the cartoon.

Too bad no one ever talked to Levitow or Maltese on why they came up with this cartoon -- was it a reaction by both of them to having to work on all those formulistic LePews for Chuck or was it a script Maltese had pitched to Jones but had rejected, that he then brought back to Levitow when he was given directing duties.

I don't know. I much preferred Art Davis' earlier, wacky Daffy, esp. in "The Stupor Salesman" or "Riff Raffy Daffy." Well, I have to go now. I'll see you later.
