Looney Tunes is an American animated series produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969. Foghorn Leghorn starred in 28 cartoons & is based on the popular character of Senator Claghorn, a blustery Southern politician who was a regular character on a popular radio show of the 1940s. The rooster adopted many of Claghorn's catch phrases, such as "That's a joke, ah say, that's a joke, son."
