August 15, 1959 –
The Looney Tunes short, Cat’s Paw, directed by Bob McKimson, and starring Sylvester the Cat and Junior, was released on this date.
When Sylvester Jr. wonders where the yellow went (in this case, yellow being cowardice), it’s actually a pun on a popular advertising campaign for Pepsodent Toothpaste. “You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!“
