Production notes
This was an attempt at a new series that never took off.
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their "Blue Ribbon" program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
Songs include: "You Can't Scare a Crow With a Scarecrow," performed by a Crow.

Corn Plastered
I don't appreciate how McKimson was trying to make this character popular by shoving him inour faces like that. If he would have just held the character back a bit, he might have actually been more popular.
But, other than that, this cartoon has the great comic timing that the WB directors had back in their day. For that, I'm giving it a near good review.
