[edit | edit source]

This is the second short to feature Dingbat, a yellow canary wearing a sailor hat who has a maniacal laughter. The character was introduced in Hard Boiled Egg (1948). Paul Terry was inspired by the Looney Tunes character Tweety, and hoped that Dingbat would become a recurring character. The series lasted for three more cartoons, with All This and Rabbit Stew, Foiling The Fox and Sour Grapes (all released in 1950).[3] Dingbat would occasionally be paired up with Sylvester the Fox.
