Introducing....Beaky Buzzard

As can be shown here, "The Snerd Bird" was named Beaky right in 1942, in his first comicbook appearence (from FC 16, the first one devoted to Porky Pig and first time our porcine character starred in long adventures). In his second animated starring role, however, Beaky will still be called Killer.
Guess that they decided to use him again in cartoons because it was so much used in comics.
The story is hilarious just for the poses of Beaky and the fact that they used a giant version of Sniffles.

Scrap Happy Daffy

"Scrap Happy Daffy" has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child. Not only it shows all the cuts and cinematographic techniques Tashlin was so famous and celebrated for, but it also includes no less than two original songs created just for the short. A lot of fun is to try to understand the lines of the first song, when Daffy fastly and wildly enumerates all kind of objects that can be used for the scrap campaign.

For years I had to watch on TV a copy that started with the title card and ended with a "The End" card never used for any WB classic cartoon, omitting the iris out in the process. Guess the same happened to you, folks.

Enjoy this marvellous copy of the cartoon.

Duck man meets Pig

No, it's not about the animated TV series....

Enjoy the only story drawn by Barks (several if not all the heads of Bugs and Porky were redrawn by Carl Buettner though) starring our favorite ham actor (hope I've not offended any fans of Piggy).
