And today (a very short day later), I'll be doing on with a article on one of his last good shorts, "Chow Hound", given his stature. Anony., J.Lee wasn't trying to deny that it was Bob's, but that the dog uised wasn't the same character used five years later by Jones..StevePokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-46339802218961315372012-09-22T02:43:05.610-07:002012-09-22T02:43:05.610-07:00Charlie wasn't Chuck's idead, it was Bob C...Charlie wasn't Chuck's idead, it was Bob Clampett's creation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738012638904762739.post-82174375736036983402012-09-21T12:05:52.008-07:002012-09-21T12:05:52.008-07:00Charlie's an interesting case, since while Jon...Charlie's an interesting case, since while Jones and Maltese made him their own, his v 0.9 prototype was created by Bob Clampett and Warren Foster for 1941's "Porky's Pooch". <br /><br />The main difference initially (and, given how the two directors are portrayed, surprisingly) is that while the original B&W cartoon has a 'happy' ending, Chuck and Mike (and/or Tedd Pierce) opted for a far more cynical (and funnier) ending for "Little Orphan Airedale" that cemented the idea that Charlie was going to be an annoying pest to his master forever. <br /><br />The long-term problem was in coming up with varying scenarios for a character who had limited, albeit enjoyable, schtick. "Dog Gone South" was a way to try and vary the Charlie-Porky formula that had run its course (and on the positive side, Chuck didn't push the premise beyond the breaking point, as he would with the Pepe LePew series that started at roughly the same time).<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
