Dumb-Hounded (1943)
Directed by Tex Avery and written by Rich Hogan.
It was the first cartoon to feature Avery's character Droopy
although the name "Droopy" had not been adopted at this point.
Droopy's meek, deadpan voice and personality were modelled after
the character Wallace Wimple on the radio comedy Fibber McGee and Molly.
Actor Bill Thompson, who played Wimple, was the original voice of Droopy.
While Thompson served in the US Navy during World War II, Droopy's voice
was provided by other voice actors, including Don Messick,
who reprised the role in the 1990s.
Avery's preferred gag man Heck Allen said that Avery himself
provided the voice on several occasions, and "You couldn't tell the difference".
There are French and English audio options.

Titus
