Paper Size: approximately 16" x 20" Edition Size: 500 This scene is taken from an actual “freeze-frame” from the Looney Tunes cartoon short entitled, A Bird in a Guilty Cage, released in 1952 under the direction of Friz Freleng. The combination of the spuddering, loose-lipped puddy tat and the adowable wittle bird proved to be one of Freleng’s most popular and successful properties. Tweety is basically a passive character, who stands by and watches as Sylvester formulates elaborate and inevitably unsuccessful schemes to capture him. Tweety gets laughs by offering a commentary on Sylvester’s mishaps such as, “Ah, the puddy has pink skin under his fur coat!” Sylvester’s main nemesis in many of these cartoons is Granny, Tweety’s owner- a feisty old lady, always ready to belt Sylvester with her umbrella. But, Sylvester is ultimately his own worst enemy and, the more grandiose the scheme he conceives, the more certain it is to backfire. Director Friz Freleng stated, “Tweety never did a damned thing but say ‘I tawt I taw a puddy tat,’ and Sylvester was a character that fell on his face all the time, who unintentionally planned to defeat himself.”
