Hungry Sheep

Droopy’s sheep eat everything in Drag-a-long Droopy, including a river and an Indian teepee.



Tex Avery explored the eat-everything concept in full in the next cartoon he put into production, Billy Boy.

This 1954 short features Avery’s usual animators—Walt Clinton, Grant Simmons, Mike Lah and Bob Bentley, as well as Ray Patterson. The “Moo moo moo/baa baa baa!” and “Hey, taxi!” routines in this short are among my most favourite moments in MGM cartoons.

  1. In a war with a wolf cattle rancher, Droopy's sheep grazed the cattle rancher and his cattle naked!

  2. “Okay...break it up son, joke’s over” has destroyed me and my three brothers since we first saw/heard that line in the mid-seventies. LOL!
