Tasmanian Devil in “Ducking the Devil” (1957)
The Tasmanian Devil, often referred to as ” Taz”, is an animated cartoon character featured in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes series of cartoons. The character appeared in only five shorts before Warner Bros Animation closed down in 1963, but marketing and television appearances later propelled the character to new popularity in the 1990s.
Robert McKimson based the character on the real-life Tasmanian Devil. The most noticeable resemblance between the Australian marsupial and McKimson’s creation is their ravenous appetites and crazed behavior.

Quick Draw McGraw – Choo Choo Chumps (1959)
The Quick Draw McGraw Show was the third cartoon television production created by Hanna-Barbera following their success with The Ruff & Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show. Each episode was approximately six minutes long; this allowed four episodes per half-hour program with commercial advertisements in between. Quick Draw satirized the westerns that were popular among the American public at the time. His character was well-intentioned, but somewhat dim. It was clear, however, that Baba Looey, his deputy, was much smarter than Quick Draw but loyal to a fault, similar to the earlier Hanna-Barbera pairing of the whimsical Yogi Bear and his practical sidekick Boo-Boo.

Willie E. Coyote and Road Runner – Fast and Furry-ous (1948)
Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner were created by animation director Chuck Jones in 1948 for Warner Brothers, while the template for their adventures was the work of writer Michael Maltese. The characters went on to star in a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts (the first 16 of which were written by Maltese) and the occasional made-for-television cartoon. Jones based the Coyote on Mark Twain’s Roughing It[3], in which Twain describes the coyote as “a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton” that is “a living, breathing allegory of Want. He is always hungry”. Jones said he created the Coyote-Road Runner cartoons as a parody of traditional “cat and mouse” cartoons (such as Tom and Jerry).

Woody Woodpecker – The Screwball
Woody Woodpecker was created in 1940 by storyboard artist Ben “Bugs” Hardaway, who had previously laid the groundwork for two other screwball characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, at the Schlesinger/Warner Bros. studio in the late 1930s. According to Walter Lantz’s press agent, the idea for Woody came during the producer’s honeymoon with his wife, Gracie, in Sherwood Lake, California. A noisy woodpecker outside their cabin kept the couple awake at night, and when a heavy rain started, they learned that the bird had bored holes in their cabin’s roof.
