Foxy By Proxy (1952) Review: Outfoxing Antics With Bugs!

In this episode, we review the Looney Tunes short 'Foxy by Proxy,' released on March 1, 1952, and directed by Friz Freleng. Joined by guest FoxInAFix, we discuss how this short is a sort of remake of the Tex Avery short 'Fox and Hounds' and includes reused gags. We delve into the antics of Bugs Bunny as he plays tricks on a particularly dumb dog during a fox hunt. The episode touches on elements such as animation quality, character interactions, and some standout moments like the dog pile animation and the train track gag.
