I’ve been waiting for today’s alphabet character to roll around. When I sketched Granny, I struggled with drawing a small caged Tweety. I find it difficult to create scaled down versions of anything I’m not familiar with drawing and I didn’t care how he turned out in the earlier illustration or even in the above A2Z post banner. This is my time to try to right the wrong with my earlier attempts. Let’s tee how I do, twall we?
This is more of fantasy picture I found online as an example but I imagined Tweety felt really safe high on cloud away from that bad ole puddy tat.
Tweety appeared in 46 cartoons during the Looney Tunes golden age. In his first short, A Tale of Two Kitties (1942), he doesn’t look or sound the same as what I know from my Saturday morning cartoon days. Mel Blanc provided the voice for Tweety from 1942-’89. Perhaps in the first film he hadn’t perfected Tweety’s character. Many of the animations from the late 50s I suspect are the ones I grew up watching like A Pizza Tweety Pie, A Bird in a Bonnet, Trick or Tweet, Hyde and Go Tweet which I shared in “Quackbusters”, and a few others. There’s a full list of all of the short titles on Wiki if you’re interested.
We’re all familiar with the general story plot a bad ole putty tat, Sylvester, attempts to turn Tweety into his meal but fails repeatedly. The antics are hilarious. I a collection of Tweety clips “Did I Saw A Putty Tat?” for your entertainment. I hope this brings back some fun memories for you.
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your day. Please leave a direct link for today’s post in comments to ensure others can find an easy way back to you. I’m heading over to the A2Z headquarters to see who’s joined the party now. I hope to see you again tomorrow for the next letter in the alphabet in my Looney Tunes Art Sketch series! X💋X💋 Cathy
