Production notes

The first appearance of Sniffles. Sniffles was the first continuing cartoon character created by Charles M. "Chuck" Jones.

The woman or women who actually did the voice for Sniffles is a matter of much debate, and no one seems to be able to firmly fix who did the voice. Marjorie Tarlton and Leone Ledoux are the most probable actresses to do the voice, and probably both did Sniffles. Other women occasionally cited as the voice of Sniffles include Gaye Seabrook, Sylvia Picker and Margaret Talbot. Two women often credited with Sniffles voice- Bernice Hansen and Sara Berner- did not ever do the voice, though Bernice did a similar voice for Little Tommy Cat in The Night Watchman.
