Background Information

Pete Puma is a fictional character, a cartoon puma, voiced by Stan Freberg. His first animated appearance was in the November 15, 1952 "Rabbit's Kin", a Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson, from story by Tedd Pierce. Animation was by Charles McKimson, Herman Cohen, Rod Scribner, and Phil De Lara.

Though Pete Puma made only one Merrie Melodies appearance, he is often vividly remembered by cartoon fans, especially for his bizarre, inhaled, almost choking laugh, based on comedian Frank Fontaine's "Crazy Guggenheim" character and pronounced limp due to a bad case of bar heel. In "Rabbit's Kin," Pete is chasing a young rabbit (named Buster Rabbit by some fans, though in the cartoon Bugs repeatedly calls him 'Shorty'), who asks Bugs Bunny for help. Bugs is eager to oblige, and subjects Pete to some of his trademark pranks.

More recently, he has made occasional appearances on Tiny Toon Adventures (as the Acme Looniversity janitor), co-starred with Foghorn Leghorn in Pullet Surprise (voiced again by Freberg in all of these appearances), made a cameo appearance in Space Jam, and is a supporting character in the Looney Tunes comic books.
