The Chow Hound

The Chow Hound is a 1944 Private Snafu short directed by Friz Freleng.https://tralfaz.blogspot.com/2013/01/wartime-bull.html| Mike Kazaleh in the comment section on Yowp's "Wartime Bull" page for this cartoon: I never thought this cartoon was directed or animated by the Frank Tashlin unit. Friz Freleng's unit did the animation (Manny Perez, Gerry Chiniquy, Virgil Ross, Jack Bradbury) and the staging looks like Friz's as well. And Bart even said in the comment section on Yowp's "Wartime Bull" page for this cartoon: I just watched this entry on YouTube, Yowp - this Snafu short was done by Friz Freleng and his crew - I recognize Gerry Chiniquy's & Virgil Ross's animation anywhere.
== Plot ==
A bull from the Panhandle Valley is on his honeymoon when the United States joins World War II. He is inspired by an Uncle Sam poster to join the war effort and is processed as canned food. The cans marked with his smiling visage are then transported by truck, ship, and camel overseas to reach the hungry troops.Shull, Wilt (2004), p. 195-196
The cans reach Snafu in the Pacific War zone, as the bull's ghost has determined Snafu must eat, in spite of bomb and shrapnel blast. Snafu in fact waits first in line for the food and demands that food must be piled high on his tray. He then stuffs himself and throws away the leftovers. The ghost attacks the clueless soldier, and laments volunteering as food only to be wasted.
== Notes ==
* According to Mike Kazaleh and Bart in the comment section on Yowp's "Wartime Bull" page for this cartoon on Tralfaz.blogspot.com and to what the cartoon actually looks like, this cartoon was directed by Friz Freleng and not Frank Tashlin.
