Both Maltese and Givens at WB were, on occasion utilized apart from Chuck Jones' unit, which is where most of their time at the studio was spent, of course.

But after Bud Abbott's conked, Lou conls HIMSELF and they make up a two man airline..[I gotta admit along with 1966's "Alice in Wonderland", "Abbott and Costello Cartoons" were a longtime Hanna-Barbera guilty pleasure of mine in a way with the opening being similiarly colorfly and wacky like mthe "Alice" show.

I've kwown that this <i>Quick Draw McGraw</i> episode had its script (made by Michael Maltese) mirrored on the Warner's <i>Looney Tunes</i> shorts (specially those ones from Road-Runner and/or Speedy Gonzales), comparing Quick Draw as Wile E. Coyote and/or Sylvester; and the outlaw-acting Baba Looey being compared as Road Runner and/or Speedy Gonzales. <br />Alias, I was enjoying to re-watch this episode on YouTube (with the classical Brazilian dubbing in Portuguese), using the song <i>I'm a Road-Runner</i> (recorded by Jr. Walker & The All-Stars for Motown in 1966) as a playback on the scene where the outlaw-acting Baba Looey departs to steal the bank.rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-89300791624579851652012-02-11T11:34:48.365-08:002012-02-11T11:34:48.365-08:00This is one of my favorite Quick Draws, because it...This is one of my favorite Quick Draws, because it really turns the loving relationship between Quick Draw and Baba upside down with hilarious consequences. You can see that Quick Draw is conflicted now that his former amigo is now an outlaw, but he tries to do his duty anyway, with miserable results. It's almost sad to see that he is no match for the Little Cucaracha. Also, Baba's insults and wisecracks directed at Quick Draw are even funnier since they are so out of character. What a great cartoon!<br /><br />Good synopsis, Yowp--you gotta put out a book sometime with all these in them. Hope my other favorite Quick Draw cartoon--"Six Gun Spook"--shows up here this year!Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.com
