Pooch the Pup is a funny animal cartoon character, an anthropomorphic dog, appearing in Walter Lantz cartoons during the studio's black-and-white era, and is the first recurring character to be made by Walter Lantz. This character, however, only appeared in thirteen shorts, and only two are available on video so far. ==Biography== In 1931, Walter Lantz was encountering slight financial troubles. One way to cope with the problems was to conceive a new series featuring a new character, thus leading to the appearance of Pooch the Pup. While Lantz went on to direct the Pooch the Pup shorts, his colleague Bill Nolan would focus on the long-running Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons. When surprised about something, Pooch would say "Heh!" in a squeaky fashion. And when his girlfriend is in trouble, he pounds his chest and makes a Tarzan-esque shout before moving. Pooch made his debut in ''The Athlete''. Here, he was a white-furred bloodhound white long black ears. In ''Pin Feathers'', he had black fur, making very similar to Oswald, except for his long, hairless tail. Pooch's last hurrah was in ''She Done Him Right'', a parody of a movie called ''She Done Him Wrong''. Following his retirement from the screen, Oswald was seen in two cartoons wearing a jacket similar to Pooch's. It was suggested that the two Oswald shorts were initially designed to feature Pooch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Walter Lantz Cartune Encyclopedia: 1933 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pooch the Pup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
