October 4, 1952 –
The Merrie Melodies short, Tree for Two, directed by Friz Freleng and starring Sylvester the Cat was released on this date.
This cartoon marks the debut of Spike and Chester, two antagonistic city bully dogs who would chase Sylvester not once, but twice. Their second and last appearance would be in the 1954 short, Dr. Jerkyl’s Hide, which is more or less a retread of this short, but set in England.
