Origin[]

Fleabag MacBoodle is a walrus dog-trainer who attends the Warmer Bros. theater "Hamateur Night" talent show. His coaching appears to be quite professional, asking his Jack Russell terrier to roll over, play dead, sit up, and speak - in which the dog quite literally speaks, reciting the poem "from the Rock Bound Coast of Maineā€ before he is rejected by the judge and sent down to the basement.

Notes[]

  • This short entered the public domain in 1967 due to United Artists failing to renew the copyright in time.
  • Despite Egghead being heavily featured in in the cartoon, the character will not enter the public domain until 2033 due to his debut cartoon still being under copyright.
