7. Every Old Landed Aristocracy man I knew

was FogHorn in a man suit.

To me the dog kind of represents the struggling underclasses. Just when he thinks he is going to get there that damn chain pulls him back.

This just came to me... in my old age.

I still love the cartoons.

8. Were the writer's of Foghorn anti-establishment?

 



A good mockery in a harmless kid's cartoon. Ha.
Wonder who, in 1946 they modeled Foghorn after?
Wouldn't it be interesting to know that!

9. My supervising physician is a huge Foghorn Leghorn fan.

He's a Sikh with a thick accent, and refers to the cartoon character as 'Leghorn Foghorn'.

Once, a few years ago, back when we were working out of the same office, we brought up some old F-L cartoons on YouTube and watched them together during a lull in our clinic day. That was some interesting bonding...

10. Oh my, Foghorn bonding! That is a good story

 

I can think of many scenarios where a few clips of this cartoon should be viewd.

11. Oh, it gets better.

While watching the cartoons, we indulged in cups of Indian tea; British blend, hot milk, and brown sugar. Good stuff!

12. But did you know?

He was based on Senator Beauregard Claghorn, a character on the Fred Allen radio show.

13. LOL, So its Foghorn Claghorn! Haa. The cartoon has an interesting history

 

Senator Beauregard Claghorn was a popular fictional radio character on the "Allen's Alley" segment of The Fred Allen Show, beginning in 1945.
Succeeding the vaguely similar but not nearly as popular Senator Bloat from the earliest "Allen's Alley" routines, Senator Claghorn, portrayed by Allen's announcer, Kenny Delmar, was a blustery Southern politician whose home was usually the first at which Allen would knock.[1] Claghorn would typically answer the door with, "Somebody, ah say, somebody knocked! Claghorn's the name, Senator Claghorn, that is. I'm from the South. Suh."[2]
