The tongue twisting dog-sportscaster in PORKY AND TEABISCUIT was

I thought that was interesting. I always thought most of those characters were voiced by Mel Blanc.

Thanks, Daffyfan2003--I know I could count on at least one person to play along..yeah, a lot of that even I didn't know.

Just go here:www.POVoline.com, go to animation, then to cartoon voces and I.A.Q.(incessantly asked questions) or some of my other posts and you'll find out more.Also you might the book by author Graham Webb, a longtime researcher of thsi stuff, called THE ANIMATED FILM ENCLYCLOPEDIA (copping fromJeff Lenburg's vastly inferioir book) which deals not just with vocal credits,not jsut Warners but theatrical short length and feature length animation from 1900 to 1979!!
