Long cock cartoons

Description:Inspiration[ edit ] The character of Foghorn Leghorn was directly inspired by the popular character of Senator Claghorn , a blustery Southern politician played by Kenny Delmar who was a regular character on The Fred Allen Show , a popular radio show of the s. The rooster adopted many of Claghorn's catch phrases, such as "That's a joke, I say, that's a joke, son. According to Leonard Maltin the character's voice was also patterned after a hard-of-hearing West Coast-only radio character from the s, known simply as The Sheriff, on a radio program called Blue Monday Jamboree. Biography[ edit ] Foghorn Leghorn is depicted as a large, anthropomorphic white adult Leghorn rooster with a stereotypically Southern accent, a " good ol' boy " speaking style, and a penchant for mischief. In addition to being a reference to the Senator Claghorn character, the first half of his name is a joke about him being loud and obnoxious, while the second half refers to a breed of chicken, a leghorn. All of the motion picture Foghorn Leghorn cartoons were directed by Robert McKimson , and the rooster ties with the Tasmanian Devil as the most popular character associated with the director.
