My last comment meant the cartoon producers in publicirty and such...Leon Schlesinger, Ed Sezler, their MGM counterpart Fred Quimby, and even credit publicising Walt DIsney likewise got exclsuvie credit for WRITING AND DRAWING childrens and comic books with the icons and indicia we love. Just a thing of the day...

It was just a sign of the times (as that later 1966 Petula Clark song said) for someone to get credit, if of higher status, for others (John Seely who got credit for the "scores" of six certain fall-winter 1958 shorts was the same way--he had many composers who music was used but credited to him--likewise the cartoon producers themselves..if you've got the higher status, you've got the credit.Just a practice du jour.)

This was Frank Graham's last project . At the height of his career he got dumped by his girlfriend and, unfortunate to say, committed suicide in his car by inhaling deadly fumes. R.I.P. Frank!

Wait a minute - it's Sunday morning - the church bells are ringing - and Fudd isn't going to church? IS FUDD AN ATHEIST???

Note there are no voice credits. Only Mel Blanc, per contract, was allowed a voice credit in the WBs. So Arthur Q. Bryan, the usual voice of Elmer Fudd (as he is here), were never formally credited for their great voice work.

This seems like a takeoff on the narration on soap operas on old-time radio.
