anthropomorphic
Tweety Bird; Sylvester Pussycat; Dr. H.D. Shrink
Yes, folks, another great day to be alive and --- ARONNNK!
Sylvester undergoes psychoanalysis for depression. The incidents he relates to the doctor of his inability to catch Tweety are presented in the form of flashback vignettes, just as they would be in a “cheater” cartoon (one that reuses animation footage from previous cartoons).

The dialogue in this story is both lively and full of jokes and puns – more so than the usual fare. Also, on Page One / Panels 2-3, Sylvester “quiets-down” Tweety by putting a cloth over his cage, as one would do with pet canaries. This is nicely conveyed by one panel of Sylvester walking toward Tweety’s cage with the cloth, and the next panel is a full-figure of Tweety completely surrounded by blackness.

Gasp! The wind blew my magic hat off!

Despite the anachronistic presence of a medieval-style wizard and his castle, the story would seem to take place in 1975 - the year in which it was published. There is no “Tweety and Sylvester” title logo in the opening splash panel of this story – just the story title itself.
