Buzzy the Funny Crow is an animated cartoon character that first appeared in the Famous/Paramount Noveltoons cartoon, "Stupidstitious Cat" (1947).[1] He went on to appear in 13 cartoons from 1947 to 1954,[2] including Sock-a-Bye Kitty, As the Crow Lies, Cat-Choo, Better Bait Than Never and No Ifs, Ands or Butts.[3]
Buzzy spoke in a gravelly voice that resembled that of Eddie Anderson, famous for playing the valet Rochester on Jack Benny's radio and later television program, and in The Stupidstitious Cat, Katnip's voice resembled that of Benny.
