We discuss the short's storyline, characters, and Mel Blanc's exceptional voice work. We also highlight the animation styles of various animators, the musical selections, and share a couple of fun trivia facts. Manny and I even compare 'Early to Bet' with 'Hummer Time' and conclude our thoughts on both shorts. Join us in this nostalgic exploration of classic Looney Tunes animation.
