Warner bros. had plenty of dog characters, but most of them would only get the honor of appearing in one cartoon. Maybe two. One of the lesser known that still makes my five appearance rule, is this canine.
Willoughby in one word is: stupid. I’m sorry, but he is. That does not mean I hate him. He is quite funny. He is a bloodhound I think, and the majority of his pictures were him hunting. Of course he would fail. Whether it was a quail, Bugs, or a fox, he never was able to catch what he was after. By far his greatest appearance (in my opinion) is “An Itch in Time.” (A short that I should really talk about soon.
As a final note, you might find it interesting to know that this dog was voiced not by Blanc, but by his creator, Tex Avery.
