Hey folks. How's things? Listen, I know posting about Looney Tunes in a Forgotten Toons forum is kind of redundant, but I'll be damned if I can think of the title of a short I've been looking for. Here's the basic plot:
It's a Daffy and Porky cartoon guest-starring the dog from Foghorn Leghorn (IIRC) and it opens with Daffy wandering through a snowstorm up to Porky's big, warm manse. Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen on TV then happens when Porky shoots Daffy and stuffs him in his cooler. The rest of the episode is the typical Looney Tunes chase/revenge schtick.
Rings any bells out there in Intranetland?
Thanx.

I don't recall that particular cartoon, but if you have an approximate year, I could look it up in [url= [link:www.amazon.com]]Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons,[/url] by Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald.
But if, as per the thread title, it's a tune and not a toon you're looking for -- well, I don't know that either, but a lot of the early Warner Bros. cartoons used songs the company owned, partly as publicity and partly just because they could.
By the way, I believe the dog you're referring to was named George P. Dog.
Quack, Don

Yeah, I'm not really sure on the year. My first exposure to the Warner characters was Nickelodeon's package in the early nineties so I'm completely thrown off there even twenty years later.
The "toon" v. "tune" thing: I was trying to be clever. "Forgotten Toons" "Lookin for a Tune." carTOON, luney TUNEs. I was making a play on the play.

Ah, the early '90s Nickelodeon package. Y'know, the last time I saw Jerry Beck (the Apatoons get-together at the San Diego con in 2003), he remarked on the fact that while people our age remember Bosko as part of our childhoods, most younger people don't, because for many years he didn't appear on TV (partly because of possible accusations of racism (despite the fact that he was depicted quite favorably -- in fact, he was one of the few old Warner Bros. characters who had a girlfriend) and partly just because they didn't show black & white cartoons anymore).
But Nickelodeon did use the old b&w toons, including Bosko, so there was a whole new generation who would grow up knowing him just like we did.
But that's neither here nor there. I still can't answer your question. Sorry.

I believe the cartoon you are looking for is 1952 "Cracked Quack". Daffy comes to Porky's house and pretends to be a stuffed duck on the mantel so he doesn't have to fly south for the winter.
It's a great toon and very similar to "Birth of a Notion" where Daffy again doesn't want to fly south and he ends up at a Mad Scientist's house. He "stops" the dog, Leopold, from eating a "poison" bone, so the dog in gratitude brings Daffy into the house for the winter. This cartoon caricatures Peter Lorre as the Mad Scientist.
