Hello there, y'all. My username is QuestJ65 and I'm a fan of classic animation. I came to this wiki due to my fascination with Looney Tunes and its respective franchise in general, thanks to fellow user SonicExeP, the creator of the wiki. My goal at the Looney Tunes Wiki is to slowly create articles for whatever keeps my mind occupied at the current moment. Won't always be here due to my busy schedule IRL, but glad to be here anyway.
I am also a user and admin at the Hanna-Barbera Wiki, so if you want help me out in there, then go right ahead.

Notes
- Elmer Fudd appeared as an obese man, modeled after his actor Arthur Q. Bryan, in the following cartoons:
- Wabbit Twouble
- The Wacky Wabbit
- The Wabbit Who Came to Supper
- Any Bonds Today? (non-LT/MM short)
- Fresh Hare
- Robert McKimson created the design for Bugs Bunny for the shorts What's Cookin' Doc?, Falling Hare and Tortoise Wins By Hare. It would be the basis of Bugs' visual design for the other directors at Warner Bros., who created specific model sheets for their own units.
- Daffy Duck was the first Warner Bros. cartoon character to be named after a state of lunacy. "Bugs" Bunny and the "Goofy Gophers" followed suit.
- Petunia Pig was a golddigger in her first two appearances. This trait was removed when Bob Clampett redesigned her in later appearances for the theatrical shorts.
- A Corny Concerty is a parody of Disney's Fantasia.
- According to the Looney Tunes: The Ultimate Visual Guide book, the Tasmanian Devil's spins can reach up to over 78 MPH.
- Yosemite Sam's voice was inspired by a personality from comedian Red Skelton, Sheriff Dead-Eye.
- Pepé Le Pew was named "Stinky" in the short Scent-imental Over You, both on his model sheet and on his mailbox in the film.
- Miss Prissy first appeared in the Porky Pig short An Egg Scramble.
- Slowpoke Rodriguez is skilled in gunfighting and hypnotism.
- Hugo the abominable snowman is a parody of Lennie from the novel Of Mice and Men.
- the Goofy Gopher, Mac and Tosh, are nearly identical in appearance and personality; they would graciously trade names with their partner if it made the other happier.
- Henry Bear, the patriarch of The Three Bears, in incredibly abusive towards his son Junyer, but not his wife Mama Bear.
- In the Dell Comics, Sniffles the mouse was paired with a human girl named Mary Jane, who has the ability to shrink down in size and back at will.
- Henry Hawk is a Chuck Jones invention, and first appeared in the 1939 short The Squakin' Hawk.
- In Hook, Line and Stinker, Wile E. Coyote constructs a complex Rube Goldberg Contraption, which works in the following steps:
- Wile E. uses a slingshot to launche a tiny pebble at a wooden yardarm stick, which is used as ballast to hold up and suspend a watering can.
- When the pebble knocks away the stick, the watering can is tipped over and starts pouring out a mixture of water and plant growth formula.
- The combined concoction of water and plant growth formula pours down onto a potted flower, which a match is tied onto its stem.
- When the flower starts growing, the match is struck against a small rock which both a stick of dynamite and a brick-loaded boot are placed on.
- When the match lights the fuse, the dynamite explodes, launching the boot in midair until it lands on the left side of a seesaw.
- The seesaw then lifts up a cage that was nailed on the right side of the seesaw, which releases a small mouse who runs for a cheese placed on one side of a golden scale.
- When the mouse lifts the cheese off of one side of the scale, the small metal weight falls off. But the weight is tied to the trigger of a hunter's rifle latched on the side of a cliff side and pointing upwards.
- When the weight falls of the scale, it stops in midair as the string tugs on the trigger, pulling it back.
- The rifle then fires a bullet up in the air as it bounces off 2 metallic bullseyes and then bounces off the barrel of a large cannon also facing upwards.
- The barrel of the cannon then lowers down until it is pointing straight ahead, aligning the fuse wick of the cannon to be lined up with the flare of a winched-up candlestick.
- The small flame of the candle stick then lights the fuse of the cannon, which fires the cannonball as it soars toward a large pipe funnel.
- The cannonball goes through the first funnel and then gets spouted up in the air, across the sky sand then sent soaring down into another large metal funnel which helps the cannonball straighten its fall trajectory, making the cannonball fall straight down.
- According to an episode of The Looney Tunes Show, Yosemite Sam's legal name is "Samuel Rosenbaum."
