Looney TV: A Tale of Two Kitties (1942-8)

 Tweety made his debut in Bob Clampett's 1942 farce, "A Tale of Two Kitties". According to other sources, Tweety was identified on scripts as Orson, but was never mentioned by name. Plus, Tweety isn't entirely in golden yellow, looking a little bald in the middle, but of course that would change.

Here, a pair of cats modeled after the comedy team of Bud Abbott & Lou Costello are on the hunt for some avian lunch. Tedd Pierce voices Babbitt, while Mel Blanc is Tweety & Catstello.


This clip is a 1948 Blue Ribbon reissue, though the original title card is shown as a screencap above.

Rating: B.
