This time, Joe and Bill have ripped off their own cartoon, substituting an eaglet for the ducklet (don’t worry, they recycled him elsewhere), Yogi Bear for Tom and Jerry and flying for swimming. No, the answer is not the 1953 Tom and Jerry cartoon Just Ducky, where the Yakky Doodle prototype can’t swim, Jerry tries to teach him how, but his natural instincts only kick in to rescue Tom from drowning. Then, he hears his mother and siblings and joins them as the camera fades out. He is taught by another character who happens to be nearby but fails until he makes a life-saving rescue. The mother and siblings head away from the nest, but one bird doesn’t know how. Ready? Here’s the plot:Ī mother bird watches her eggs hatch. Production E-2 Huckleberry Hound Show K-008.
