Classic Cartoon Clones: Who Looks Alike

[candy17]

In classic cartoons, it's pretty rare to find a clone from one cartoon in another, but I've got some observations:

Pepe Le Pew (Chuck Jones creation from WB)= that skunk on the Tex Avery cartoon "Little Tinker" (okay, this one may not be looks, but both skunks are looking for love despite their stench).

The Showgirl Red (from Red Hot Riding Hood)= one of the girls who kisses a baseball player on Batty Baseball= Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Pussyfoot (the cat that Marc Antony always tries to protect)= Penelope (the cat who always gets a white stripe down her back and is seduced by the likes of Pepe Le Pew)

Daffy Duck= Donald Duck (both are loud-mouthed ducks who make a big deal of everything. Only difference: Donald's antithesis is a whitebread mouse or a mentally-handicapped dog in human clothes and Daffy's antitheses are either a whitebread pig, a whitebread hunter/everyman--Elmer Fudd, or a New York-ese rabbit who dresses in drag)

Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd (all you have to do is take off the pig ears and you have the same character)

And the skunk in Warner Bros."Odor of the Day"[1948] and TOTAL TV's Odie Cologne in King Leonardo and his short subjects [1960-1963;syndicated as King Leonardo and Odie]

Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd (all you have to do is take off the pig ears and you have the same character)And some have said, Mr.Magoo. Porky=Mickey=Gumby=Andy Panda, just change the species.

Finally there's Chuck Jones's WIle E. Coyote and all of his lookalikes (Warners and elsewehre).

And Bugs and Famous/Harvey's Moe Hare.

How about:

WB's Gabby Goose/Dizzy Duck = Disney's Huey/Dewey/Louie

Foxy = Mickey Mouse = Krazy Kat hybrid

Heckle = Jeckle = Columbia's Joe Crow

[Brandon Pierce]

Egghead and Elmer (not Elmer Fudd, the Elmer that came before him).

Claude Cat to me, seemed basically like a Chuck Jones version of Sylvester. Dodsworth also seemed like a Robert McKimson version of Sylvester.

[Thad Komorowski]

Cool Cat = The Pink Panther

[Boy Wonder]

Charlie=Frisky.

[Jon Cooke]

Baby Huey = Junior Bear (from the WB Three Bears cartoon)

I believe that tge crow in "The Fox and Crow" series was named S. Crow.

Herman and Katnip = Tom and Jerry

Goopy Geer = Goofy

I believe that tge crow in "The Fox and Crow" series was named S. Crow.
I think both are right, the Crow didn't have a steady first name in the cartoons. In Slay It With Flowers, he is called Joe Crow ("telegram for Joe Crow").

If the crow is to have a permanent first name - I'd go with Crawford, his comic book name (the early stories were done by Bob Wickersham, so it's as official as you can hope to get). The Fox's comic book name was Faultneroy.

Although, they are known quite commonly as Foxy and Crowy. :fox: :crow:

You forgot "Swingshift Cinderella".http://forums.toonzone.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I believe that the crow in "The Fox and Crow" series was named S. Crow.In the earliest cartoons (and comics), his name was Joe Crow. The new name Crawford S. Crow began being used in 1945, though not consistently at first.
Interestingly, I've never seen the first name "Crawford" in a cartoon— just "S. Crow" on its own; but definitive Fox and Crow cartoon director Bob Wickersham did use the full name in the comics, so I'd certainly call it canon.

(Update: I just now notice that others beat me to this answer! What a maroon!)

And Bugs and Famous/Harvey's Moe Hare.

Back in the 1960's, Harvey's comic books (Sad Sack, Hot Stuff, Richie Rich, etc.) included a calendar page which had a picture of the Harvey's characters ... and the resemblance between Bugs and "that Harvey's rabbit" (I didn't learn the character's name until much later) was striking.

The wolf in Columbia's WOLF CHASES PIGS looks and sounds rather similar to the Big Bad Wolf from Disney's "Three Little Pigs" series. I wonder if they were both voiced by Billy Bletcher.
