Today's Video Link

Here's another of the Private Snafu cartoons that were produced primarily by the Warner Brothers Cartoon Studio (with a few outsiders pitching in) during World War II. I told more about the series here so what you need to know now is that this is The Chow Hound, which was directed by Frank Tashlin, who went on to write and/or direct live-action films with Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis and others of that stature. Mel Blanc is Snafu and some of the other folks. The other male voice in there is a man named Robert C. Bruce, who the WB Cartoon Boys used to use as a narrator for their travelogue parodies. This was released in June of 1944.
