Dr Brown [Select to enlarge]

See the Doc?   Behind Porky and Daffy is a building advertising a doctor's office. It proclaims "Dr. Brown - Leap in, limp out".

Note: There were several staff members at Termite Terrace who were caricatured as gremlins in this picture. I've included a series of screenshots below and have identified several of the gremlins. If you know the identity of any others, or think I have one of them wrong, let me know so I can revise this! Thanks!

Der Fuhrer Rants

First there is a little speech by a Hitler caricature which mentions some interesting names and phrases. At one point he rants "Stop Fritz Frelink mit der Heimlich Binder und der What's Cookin' Doc!". You can listen to it here. Of course this is Friz Freleng and Henry Binder being mentioned.

Next are the gremlins!

I've been told that the bottom one is Tedd Pierce - because it looks similar to the caricature of him in "Wackiki Wabbit".

XXX Bottles [Select to see more]

Two Big For One Bottle?   The name of Robert Gribbroek is spread over two bottles on Sniffle's shelf. Note how they are labeled "Grib" and "Broek".

Stalling Sez! [Select to see more]

Carl and Smellevision   One headline on a newspaper from the year 2000 makes it clear that Carl Stalling (the musical director for WB cartoons) is skeptical about the potential of "Smellevision".

Bob's Seals? [Select to see more]

A Crate Discovery?   On a crate behind Bugs is the sign "5 Clampett Trained Seals". The current show at the theater involved a "Can Can" performance so one can only wonder what role seals might have had in a dance show...

[A special thanks goes out to cartoonluvr who pointed this one out. :) ].

Nice Portrait

Wood Be Painter   Along the bottom of the painting of General MacArthur you can read the artist's name: Cornett Wood. Cornett was a layout artist there.

PJ and the Fence [Select to see more]

Initial Reaction   On the fence are the letters "P" and "J". These are the initials of the background artist, Paul Julian.

Ready to Rock

More PJ Fun, On the Rocks   Near Daffy's head the letters "P" and "J" can be seen on the rock. Another Paul Julian sighting.
Note: there's also a signpost in this cartoon with the name "Ross" (as in Virgil Ross) but the image I have is a bit fuzzy so I've omitted it for now. Check back later...
