message: The reference to Glenn Miller in this cartoon looks more like Tommy Dorsey from this picture: http://www.jazzitude.com/images/tommydorsey.jpg
Dorsey would make more sense, since Glenn Miller had died two years earlier, in 1944. Defense Mechanism (talk) 22:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Look, let's get something straight, ok? There is no refrerence regarding Blip. There should be mention of Frank Tashlin as the short is the same as his shorts where books came to life. The storefront is a colorised version of the one seen in A Coy Decoy. There shouldn't be two links to It Had to Be You. The Arkansas Traveler shouldn't be bracketed and the Melody in 4F is a redlink.

message: This is a wonderful, thorough article about one of my very favorite cartoons. But what is the meaning of the phrase "This cartoons blue ribbon titles are on Blip"? I know what Blue Ribbon titles are, but what's 'Blip'? PurpleChez (talk) 21:55, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

text: I deleted the sentence. Even if the titles are posted somewhere at that site it doesn't belong in the lead paragraph. "See also" maybe.... PurpleChez (talk) 21:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I agree with the comment above; not only does the caricature of the trombonist playing in front of "Brass" look more like Tommy Dorsey (note the shape of the nose), but the fact that Miller had been dead a year at the time the cartoon came out makes it less likely that it's Miller.  WB had a tendency to shy away from using celebrities that died in tragic circumstances; for example, when "A Wild Hare" was re-released, the reference to Carole Lombard was eliminated, and Clampett had another project, "For He's a Jolly Good Fala," cancelled in 1945 when Franklin Roosevelt died.  A cartoon at the same time, Chuck Jones' "Fresh Airedale," also had some specific FDR references removed.  Given that, I think it's less likely Miller, who died in tragic circumstances during the War, would have been used.  I've shied away from correcting the article, pending reaction to this post.

replies: text: Indeed. Jerry Beck said in his 1989 book: "A jam session ensues with Brass (Tommy Dorsey), Drums Along the Mohawk (Gene Krupa), The Pie-Eyed Piper (Benny Goodman), and the Arkansas Traveler. Daffy Duck steps off the cover of Looney Tunes Merrie Melodies Comics to protest the swing music." Tomskyhaha (talk) 15:18, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
