Catdog. Or is it Dogcat?

There are nothing like some good fight swirls and multiple heads. Take, for example, Porky in Wackyland (1937). It turns out to be a conjoined cat and dog.



After a brief rest stop, the fighting carries Porky right into a nearby tree-like thing.



Izzy Ellis and Norm McCabe are the credited animators. This was my favourite Porky Pig cartoon when I was a kid but it vanished from the local TV stations around 1968 with all the other black and white cartoons.

      AHA! So that's where they stole the idea for their cartoon. We found you out, Nickelodeon!

    I suppose it was understandable after the W7 merger reunited the B&W Looney Tunes with Warners' package of post-48 cartoons that the studio didn't see the need to pay extra money to redraw this cartoon, because they already owned the color remake. Other B&W cartoons that were remade in color before the August '48 cutoff date, like "Porky's Badtime Story" and "Notes to You" did get the awful redrawn treatment, because the color versions were owned by United Artists.
