The "Cartoon Research" website today released some material at the University of Wyoming that had been donated by Michael Maltese, the longtime WB cartoon writer. This material is quite significant, in that it has a great deal of missing title art that had been obscured when WB re-released the cartoons and put the "Blue Ribbon" title on. It may be possible to restore some cartoons this way. Also, one animator (Ray Patin) will have an on-screen credit restored, his only WB credit known.

I got a laugh out of this drawing, which was in the file for "The Sheepish Wolf," (Freleng, 1942). I don't know why, but zoot suited cartoon characters make me laugh.

back in the day, when a young woman was going out husband hunting, she might also say she was going out Wolfing. at the time, Men were proud to say they were howlin' wolves. Socity changes. Grandma wore gogo boots, mini skirts and drove Shelby Mustangs and listened to Janis Joplin. We can't be that cool.
Given the particular design of the character, it's vastly more likely to be an early-to-mid 40's Freleng effort. Freleng did a number of lupine-related cartoons in the early-to-mid 40s (most notably, "Little Red Riding Rabbit," but also "The Trial of Mr. Wolf" and "Pigs in a Polka" and "The Sheepish Wolf"), and if you compare this design to those four cartoons, you'll see the similarities. Avery did some wolf cartoons (e.g. "Little Red Walking Hood") but that was some years before, and a sea-change in the way Avery did character design.
