Happy Birthday Tweety

November 21, 1942
Babbit and Catstello, take-offs on Bud Abbott and Lou Costello try to catch Tweety bird (in his first appearance) in A Tale of Two Kitties, premiered on this date.

Early model sheets for this short indicated that Tweety’s original name was Orson, but no name is given in the film. After censors complained that the pink bird looked naked because he had no feathers, Tweety’s color was changed to yellow.
