Conrad the Sailor is a 1942 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Chuck Jones. The title
character, a.k.a. Conrad the Cat, is voiced by Pinto Colvig. The other featured player is
Daffy Duck, voiced as usual by Mel Blanc.
Plot synopsis
The story takes place aboard a battleship staffed by anthropomorphic cats (barely recognizable as such), most of whom are singing "Shovin' Right off for Home" as a chorale group. Cut to Conrad, who talks and sings exactly like Colvig's characterization of the Walt Disney character "Goofy".
Conrad is in the process of swabbing the deck, and is interrupted by Daffy and his pranks. The two spend the cartoon chasing and tormenting each other. A running gag in the picture is that all action screeches to a halt whenever the ship's diminutive captain walks by, as both sailor and duck snap to attention and salute.
Trivia
- Conrad resembles Walt Disney's Goofy in many ways. they both have the same laugh, same actor and same personality.
- When Daffy Says "Swell View eh Doc" that is a reference to Bugs Bunny who uses doc often.
