Job Number: ITL 2345-4
Disclose Notes: Bulldozer the Bull is drawn in the style of the well-known (though unnamed) bull in Chuck Jones' 1953 theatrical animated short "Bully for Bugs". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045585/

This story is highlighted by much lively and funny dialogue.

GOOD BITS:

Huckleberry Hound reference when Goofy pleads with Pete for a gig as a country singer:
GOOFY: "I been studyin' country music all night... even thet Huckleberry fella singin' 'Muh Darlin' Clementine'!"

Huckleberry Hound comic book and theme song reference in Pete's reply:
PETE: "Huckleberry, Chuckleberry! Yer sound alone ain't gonna sway dis crowd!"

Upon transitioning from Dell Comics to Western Publishing's Gold Key Comics, the Huckleberry Hound title became briefly known as "Huckleberry Hound Chuckleberry Tales". https://www.comics.org/issue/227238/cover/4/ This temporary title was most likely derived from the Huckleberry Hound TV show theme song which contained the line "That oh so merry Chuckleberry... Huckleberry Hound".

Flintstones reference: A sign at the bull ring advertises "Cactus Cola".

There is also a reference to the series of Goofy comic book stories under the umbrella title "A Goofy Look at...".

Subject Matter
Genres: anthropomorphic
Character(s): Donarthur [Donald Duck]; Gladstantine [Gladstone Gander]; Merlin the Magician; Fethwch [Fethry Duck]; various knights; inn patron; Huey; Dewey; Louie; Mongol leader; Mongol hordes
First Line: Whilst the Ruler of Britannia was choosing his successor, the kingdom was plunged into chaos! Zounds! What would happen to the infant royal heirs, Donarthur and Gladstantine?
Synopsis: Merlin has arranged things so that Gladstantine will win the tournament of knights, pull the fabled sword from the stone, and become king - averting the catastrophe that Merlin sees in the future should Donarthur become king. Yet, through a series of circumstances inadvertently aided by Fethwch, Donarthur becomes the bravest knight, extracts the sword, and becomes king - just in time for the arrival of what looks to be a great and vision-validating (you guessed it) catastrophe.

Disclose Notes: REFERENCES TO LOOK FOR:

Page 3, panel 3: Gladstantine refers to Merlin as "Merl, ol' girl", as did Bugs Bunny when encountering the magician in director Chuck Jones and writer Tedd Pierce's 1955 theatrical animated short "Knight-Mare Hare".

Page 8, panel 2-3: While demonstrating his knightly-swordsmanship skills with a large kitchen knife, Donarthur evokes Daffy Duck from the 1958 theatrical animated short "Robin Hood Daffy" by director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese: "Ho! Hah! Hah! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Hah! Thrust!"

Page 10, panel 1: When preparing to set his wheel-and-pulley-operated "Knight Trainer" against Donarthur, Fethwch delivers that immortal quote by J. Wellington Wimpy from E.C. Seagar's newspaper comic strip "Thimble Theatre" (aka "Popeye"): "Let's you and him fight!"
