The Crackpot Quail is the first instance. In its original form (a print exists in the UCLA archives) the quail's 'whistle' was originally a 'razz-berry' (or farting) noise.

Willoughby is a minor animatedcartoonfictional character in the Warner Bros.Looney Tunes series of cartoons. He is a hound dog who is characterized by his below-average intelligence[1] and overall gullibility.
History[edit]
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.
Willoughby first appeared in the 1940 cartoon Of Fox and Hounds. He was created and voiced by Tex Avery.[2][3] According to Chuck Jones, the character was based on Lennie, from Of Mice and Men (of which the title of Of Fox and Hounds is a knockoff).[citation needed] Critic Steven Hartley described this short as lacking in creativity, originality, excitement, and story construction, particularly compared to Avery's seminal earlier work A Wild Hare.[4]
Willoughby later appears in other Warner Brothers animated shorts, including The Heckling Hare (1941),[5]The Crackpot Quail (1941),[6] 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. Willoughby's brief career was essentially over before the end of World War II.
These dogs were mostly similar character design in Porky's Bear Facts (1941), A Corny Concerto (1943), Hare Ribbin' (1944), The Goofy Gophers (1946), and possibly Inki at the Circus (1947).
