Today’s History Lesson(s)
April 7th, 2008
I checked online to see if Warner Brother’s Foghorn Leghorn was designed to be a Southern fried version of W.C. Fields, after hearing him utter Fields’ famous line “Go away kid, ya bother me.†Not so, it turns out. Foghorn’s voice was modeled after the faux Southern Senator from The Fred Allen Show, Beauregard Claghorn. Merlin the Magic Mouse, however (of similar Looney Tunes fame), is based on Fields.
In other breaking historical news, Dewey did not win, as had been previously reported. We will continue to bring you updates on this story as it develops.
