Walky Talky Hawky is a 1946 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical short directed by Robert McKimson.

To add insult to injury, Foghorn slaps the angrily barking Dawg, while yelling at him to "AHH SHADDAP!!!"

Henery marches in after them and, in a few seconds, captures Foghorn, the Dawg, and the horse, with the hapless rooster vainly trying to escape.

After Robert McKimson was promoted to director in late 1944, writer Warren Foster developed a story about a large rooster, a barnyard dog and the inclusion of Henery Hawk (a character created by Chuck Jones).

[4] Animation producer Paul Dini writes, "Bugs and Porky — indeed, most of the classic Warner Bros. characters — underwent years of refinement before they became stars.

Though he soon lost his realistic chicken squawks, Foghorn retained his bellicose personality and barrel-bellied design for the remainder of his theatrical career... McKimson's comic equation of rooster plus board plus dog's butt may lack the poetic elegance of comic-strip artist George Herriman's mouse plus brick plus Krazy Kat's head.

However, the merry brutality worked well enough to ensure seventeen years of constant laughs — and in the case of Walky Talky Hawky, an Academy Award nomination.
