Toonfomercial: Remember Wally Bird for Western Airlines? (1974)

 Western Airlines' mascot, Wally Bird, debuted in the 50's, with Jim Backus voicing the character. We'll try to locate one of those spots another day, but Western gave Wally another chance 20 years later, this time with Shepard Menken as Wally.

Only cartoon physics can explain how you can be comfortable listening to music while sitting on top of the plane.....

Trivia Time: Wally's name is an acronym for Western Air Lines Loves You.
