After appearing in shorts with Woody Woodpecker and Fatso The Bear, Inspector Willoughby was granted his own series of shorts, directed by co-creator Paul J. Smith, who developed the character with Walter Lantz.
Some prototype shorts of a similar character had appeared between 1958-60, with Daws Butler essaying the role, but when the series launched, the part was given to Dallas McKennon, who performs all the voices in 1962's "Phoney Express":
Sounds like McKennon recycled his Willoughby voice for Riverdale High Principal Waldo Weatherbee a few years later, don't ya think?
Rating: B.
