Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons were each assigned identification numbers that would appear directly on title cards shown at the beginning of each short. These numbers included cartoon studio production numbers, Vitaphone release numbers, Blue Ribbon re-release numbers, and MPAA certificate numbers. Willoughby later appears in other Warner Brothers animated shorts, including The Heckling Hare (1941), The Crackpot Quail (1941), and Nutty News (1942), as the lead dog of a fox hunting party. A fundamentally similar character, Laramore, appears in To Duck or Not to Duck (1943), albeit with a fully brown coat of fur. The Crackpot Quailis a 1941 Merrie Melodies short. 1 Plot 2 Gallery 3 Trivia 3.1 Notes 4 References Looking at a sleek pointer dog on a billboard, goofy Willoughby the Dog dreams of being a great hunting dog.

It presents a tale about a quail (voiced by Tedd Pierce) who goes through various trials and tribulations to try to get a worm for his baby, Toots (a take-off on Fanny Brice's radio character, Baby Snooks, voiced by Sara Berner[3]), only to be rebuffed by her because the worm looks like Frank Sinatra.
Prior to the release of this short, the name 'Quentin Quail' first appeared on a model sheet by Bob Clampett, done at some point before 1942. The character is a precursor to Clampett's more famous creation, Tweety, and bears a striking resemblance to the canary.[4]
