The dog resorts to puppetry with his own version of the femme fatale. He winds up being chased by a dog, while attempting himself to pursue a tantalizing tabby. A cat (who some see as a Sylvester prototype, though the voice is without spittle), thinks of himself as the lothario of the backyard fence. The Hep Cat (10/3/42) – The first Looney Tune to be released in Technicolor. Although other labels covered the piece in 1927, Victor continued to claim a virtual monopoly on the piece in later revivals, with Bennie Goodman in 1936, Duke Ellington in 1942, and the infamous and memorable Spike Jones send-up in 1944, with vocal by Red Ingle.

For reference, “Chloe” was recorded in 1927 by the All Star Orchestra on Victor, a group headed by Nat Shilktret, Mac Farley, and Fud Livingston, the latter two considered modernistic arrangers of the time, and also on Victor in a vocal version by the Rounders. Daffy mixes some formula himself, transforming Chloe into an adolescent child, and has the last word with more radio references to Fannie Brice’s Baby Snooks and Red Skelton’s “mean widdle kid.” Songs include “Rock a Bye Baby” and “Nagasaki”, both in swing arrangements, and a two-note quote from “Chloe”, which presumably the studio didn’t own.

Jerkyl, and doubts he can cure the hiccups – but Jerkyll’s neon sign reassures him “Oh, yes, I can.” The home features a reference to the radio show “Inner Sanctum”, with a front door that squeaks loudly upon opening – only to be followed by a mysterious hand with an oil can to solve the problem. Daffy also suffers from a chronic case of hiccups. The Impatient Patient (9/5/42) – Daffy is a telegraph boy assigned to deliver a telegram to a certain “Chloe” in the swamp (reference to a 1927 song, subtited “Song of the Swamp”).

The series would continue to feature faces of its principal characters for many a season to follow – while the Merrie Melodies would only give “face time” to one character – Bugs. During this season, we get the first title sequences that feature a sharing of the spotlight between the series’ two biggest stars – Porky and Daffy. There were only a dozen cartoons produced under the banner for the season, and they had to resort to producing some of these in Technicolor, which had previously been the exclusive property of the Merrie Melodies. By 1942-43, the Looney Tunes brand seemed to be in trouble.
