Nice colour Greg, I used to love watching those Warner Bros cartoons; now they don't seem to show them, or Tom & Jerry over here anymore. That Mel Blanc was a real talent, a former member of the Spike Jones band, doing accents.

Robert,
Thanks--Mel Blanc was often regarded as the "Man of 1000 Voices".
He did voices in this cartoon, but I think Arthur Q. Bryan did the Elmer Fudd voice in this particular cartoon but was uncredited (?).
Here is an amusing clip of Arthur Q. Bryan--considered to be the inspiration for and the original Fudd.

Mel Blanc and Artur Q. Bryan were mainly radio actors.Blanc made very few live film appearances but did hundreds and hundreds of voice characterisations for film and tv cartoons and shot to immortality for voicing most of the Warner Bros characters, (and being the only one credited)! He also appeared with Jack Benny in his radio and tv series. He worked with Spike Jones only once,appearing as a hickupping drunk in the Soundie "Clink Clinc Another Drink",happily available in super 8! Arthur Q. Bryan made many movie and tv appearances as a character actor but voiced only Elmer Fudd,(and not Egghead,the original character who evolved into Elmer, and always uncredited)! One of his more extended appearances is in the collectors' perennial "The Devil Bat",with Bela Lugosi.
