Sunday Morning Cartoon

Foghorn Leghorn -Walky Talky Hawky (1946)

Foghorn Leghorn is a large, talkative rooster with a strong Virginia or Kentucky accent and a penchant for mischief. He first appeared in 1946 in a Henery Hawk film entitled Walky Talky Hawky. All of Foghorn Leghorn cartoons were directed by Robert McKimson, and the rooster vies with the Tasmanian Devil as the most popular character associated with the director. Many of the gags involve a canine nemesis known as The Barnyard Dawg. Unlike other Looney Tunes rivalries, Foghorn is often the initial aggressor out of self-amusement and subsequently on the 'losing' end of gags.
