When Mike Maltise and Jimmy Weldon got a hold of him, his quality improvied. By using antagonists like Fibber fox and Alfy Gator, he was alowed to get humor in his shorts. If Yakky guest stars in my Huckleberry Hound show revival, I'll let Tom Ruegger wright for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-30357034730033977952015-03-15T10:48:08.397-07:002015-03-15T10:48:08.397-07:00Warren foster wrote 2 Yakky Doodles, which were Ea...Warren foster wrote 2 Yakky Doodles, which were Easter Duck and Duck hunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-21439857341108391092012-11-12T17:34:05.362-08:002012-11-12T17:34:05.362-08:00Hey, I liked Yakky, too!

Would Yakky answer? Yakky: YOWP is a dope.<br />Why does Joe Barbera take all the blame. After all Bill Hanna directed "Hard Luck Duck" for The What A Cartoon Show in 1996. Yakky was a nice character. OK, sometimes going overboard with pitying himself, but nevertheless, people go overboard with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-43009401572829415892012-10-14T05:12:29.636-07:002012-10-14T05:12:29.636-07:00I like Yakky, too… But think he was funnier as a p...I like Yakky, too… But think he was funnier as a pest, as in the great “Slumber Party Smarty” (“I shot a bear! I shot a bear!”) <br /><br />To me, the best moments of his cartoons belonged to Fibber and Alfie. <br /><br />He certainly had a long gestation period, for a duck without a “mama”! <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-15578842997488856522012-10-13T12:24:24.059-07:002012-10-13T12:24:24.059-07:00I actually (and a surprise to me) liked the Yakky ...I actually (and a surprise to me) liked the Yakky Doodle cartoons. Cutesy and violent at the same time - suits me! He should be an annoying character to me, but he just isn't. I like him. And all the supporting characters in his own series too. You're right though, making him a bit more cheerful was a good move. He even appeared in a Snagglepuss cartoon within The Yogi Bear Show, in addition to his own segment.granitoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106346192751165711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-22795364250344153302012-10-13T11:33:42.570-07:002012-10-13T11:33:42.570-07:00It seems like what Mike and Tony did (or what Joe ...It seems like what Mike and Tony did (or what Joe wanted them to do) was to borrow again from the Tom & Jerry series, but this time, graft Yakky onto the Spike & Tyke relationship. So as a result, we had a dog protecting a duck instead of his pup from the menacing fox, alligator or whatever the threat of the day was (story-wise, I actually prefer this set-up, even if a dog protecting a duck is a bit odd -- at least with Fibber and Alfred, they actually were trying to eat Yakky and were a real threat Chopper had to protect him from; with the Spike & Tyke shorts, Joe Barbera at times had to turn Spike into a clueless, angry idiot unable to even see Jerry or figure out that Tom was chasing the mouse and not trying to bother his son).<br />J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-22308938666338699872012-10-13T11:25:47.999-07:002012-10-13T11:25:47.999-07:00Stop hating the duck.

The duck wasn't funny. And there were only so many times Chopper could tell him to close his eyes. So they gave Fibber and Alfie the material.<br /><br />At least Maltese eventually got him out of his self-pitying mode in his own cartoons. He's much more cheerful, and that's reflected in Jimmy Weldon's up-beat delivery.<br /><br />I wonder if Foster had written the series if he would have been more Tweety-like.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-64190308077135703292012-10-13T07:40:24.585-07:002012-10-13T07:40:24.585-07:00Daddy could have saved the world a cartoon series ...<i> Daddy could have saved the world a cartoon series by swallowing proto-Yakky...</i><br /><br />Hey, that would put Fibber Fox and the Alfred Hitchcock alligator out of work! <br /><br />(You can tell Maltese enjoyed working with the duck as much as he enjoyed a Novocaine-free root canal, but at least having the damn bird in his own series allowed Mike to create new and far more interesting side characters; the problem here and in the other shorts is he's got to shoehorn the mallard in with the already-established characters, so there's no room for new schtick, and whatever 'cuteness' factor Yakky's MGM antecedent may have had is completely gone in limited animation.)J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
