C. Melendez; Layouts by Cornett Wood; Backgrounds by Richard H. Thomas; Voice Characterization by Mel Blanc; Musical Direction by Carl W. Stalling. (So says my complete guide to Warner Bros. Cartoons, anyway.) A Looney Tune released on September 8, 1951.<\/p>\n<p>After her little &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wackyland2.com\/blog-1\/2014\/02\/18\/2014-2-18-an-egg-scramble-html\/\">egg-scapade<\/a>&#8220;, (Ow. That sucked so bad my funny bone was severed.) Porky decided Prissy wasn&#8217;t worth the hassle. She&#8217;ll be living on a different farm from now on. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be much happier there. She&#8217;s not being raised for eggs in this picture, so she&#8217;s got plenty of free time. And if you&#8217;re lonely, free time sucks. I speak from experience, and you don&#8217;t care. Prissy decides to be smart and use hers as a chance to go husband hunting. The other hens&#8217; suggestion to take a rolling pin for convincing might be sarcasm, but Prissy&#8217;s taking it regardless. Men can be dangerous when conscious. (And in the name of gender equality, women too.)<\/p>\n<p>Foghorn is taking a nap in the sun, stupidly close to the Barnyard Dawg. Never sleep within his rope limits unless you want a rude awakening. And nothing gets ruder than a bucket of liquid nitrogen cold, (but still liquid somehow) water emptied on you. Listen to that gasping! Foggy&#8217;s lucky he didn&#8217;t go into hypothermic shock! Too far, B.D. Much too far. But then, Foggy must&#8217;ve dropped a quarter dozen I.Q. points to forget you. Maybe it would be best to put him out of his misery.<\/p>\n<p>Prissy spots him as he sharpens an axe. Also extreme, but unwanted cold should be returned with death. Soon as I can figure out a way to end Winter without destroying the planet, I&#8217;m doing it. She uses the pin, and Foghorn gets angry. Strangely enough, this causes her to break into tears. Don&#8217;t men like physical pain? It&#8217;s the only pain they understand. Foghorn apologizes, and that conk must&#8217;ve knocked what little brain cells were up there back in place, because he is able to figure out exactly what she&#8217;s doing. (And humorously enough, supports the pin, but tells her that it&#8217;s for later in the relationship.)<\/p>\n<p>So, how will he utilize her into his revenge scheme? The same way he does with Henery. He tells her that the dawg is a rooster, but he wears that fursuit to keep the ladies away. (This works with humans too. Or maybe it just works with some. Man, are we diverse.) Foghorn gives her a casaba melon, (Specific. Oddly so.) telling her that like all guys, his heart is in his stomach. But you can&#8217;t just give it to him. Tease him a little. Guys love flirting. I think I do.<\/p>\n<p>As our quote demonstrates, B.D. is a little confused, but free food is free food. He tries to take it, and she starts running. This is where Foghorn rejoins, treating things like a football game. Once the melon is in his wings, it makes its way over the dawg&#8217;s head. Encased, that is. Time for the winning kick! Or punt! Or whatever the &#8216;L&#8217; you call it. One dazed dog, one delighted dame. And Foggy gets to enjoy watching her try to remove the &#8220;suit&#8221;. Finally getting to speak to her properly, Barnyard tells her the truth: her ugly face means she has no alternative to trapping a husband. You mother-was-a b*tch!<\/p>\n<p>Nah, he&#8217;s a swell guy. Even tells her what she&#8217;ll need to build this trap. Foghorn misses most of the construction, but he does see her trying to lift the final piece in place: a bowling ball. Not being able to see a lady do &#8220;mens work&#8221; he lifts it for her and puts it in the sluice she built. I&#8217;d also stop to see what was going to happen. I wouldn&#8217;t be disappointed either, because I&#8217;ve never stopped loving Rube Goldberg devices. The stupidly simple thing this complex monstrosity was designed to do was drop a cannon ball on rooster heads. What fun! Now make one that&#8217;s twenty-five minutes long and adds salt to fries.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Prissy has a brand new market basket to show off to the girls. It&#8217;s handy for carrying her brand new husband. He&#8217;s already picked up her manner of speaking too. A sure sign of a healthy relationship.<\/p>\n<p>And in case you were wondering, Comic con was fun, everybody who commented on my costume thought I was Gogo Dodo, (his umbrella is PURPLE, thanks so much) and I didn&#8217;t get a chance to get Bob Bergen&#8217;s autograph. I knew I should have brought some handcuffs.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Part: Even Foghorn&#8217;s snoring is in character: &#8220;Zzzz&#8230; I say&#8230; Zzzz&#8230; That is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Personal Rating: 3. Prissy will be much better utilized here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;This cluck&#8217;s off &#8216;er onion.&#8221; Directed by Robert McKimson; Story by Tedd Pierce; Animation by Rod Scribner, Phil DeLara, Charles McKimson, Emery Hawkins, John Carey, and J.
