A loud, Southern rooster, Foghorn Leghorn was based on a radio character called Senator Claghorn from Bighorn. That's just about where the derivative part stops, however, as he quickly became his own character under the direction of creator Robert McKimson. Originally intended to be a secondary character to Henery Hawk, a young chickenhawk created by Chuck Jones, he quickly eclipsed Henery in popularity, and became the star character almost immediately. Foghorn first appeared alongside Henery in "Walky Talky Hawky"(1946), and continued in a series of 28 cartoons between 1946 and 1963. The basic idea of the Henery Hawk cartoons is that Henery is too young to know what a chicken is, and Foghorn Leghorn tries to trick him into thinking that someone or something else is a chicken. Another regular player in the Foghorn series is Barnyard Dawg, Foghorn Leghorn's chief nemesis, who almost always gets mixed up between Foghorn and Henery and exchanges pranks and practical jokes with the big rooster. Henery Hawk and Barnyard Dawg were not the only residents of the Robert McKimson barnyard, however. Foghorn also had run-ins with a hungry weasel, a fox, an obnoxious college buddy named Rhode Island Red, and a lovesick widow hen named Miss Prissy. Sylvester and Daffy Duck also made token appearances in the series.
