The bee is capable of twisting its stinger to zap things—including Porky’s fly swatter. The swatter conducts an electric charge. Here are some of the drawings.
The cartoon isn’t exactly a laugh-fest, but Dave Monahan’s story gives the audience some satisfaction at the end as the bee gets his comeuppance. Monahan would be off for war duty belong long.
Kent Rogers supplies the bee’s voice.
Friz Freleng directed this cartoon. Gerry Chiniquy is the credited animator. Actually, the title card calls him “Gerald”. His first name was really “Germaine.” My guess is Gil Turner, Dick Bickenbach and Manny Perez were in the Freleng unit and worked on this as well.
I’d love to know if the music over the opening titles is a Stalling original.
