Tweety taw that Puddy Tat
I made a Tweety Bird purse for a friend’s daughter. I noticed that Tweety is celebrating his 67th birthday! Tweety Bird made his debut in the Warner Bros. cartoon A Tale of Two Kitties (released November 21, 1942), directed by Bob Clampett. He is an old critter for never having to deal with acne treatments!
Tweety didn’t meet his most famous adversary in that first outing — his role was to defend himself from a pair of Hollywood-caricature cats named Babbit and Catstello. Nor was he called by name — like Chip’n'Dale, Wile E. Coyote, and many other cartoon stars, the name came only when he’d appeared twice. He did, however, utter his most famous line, “I tawt I taw a puddy tat.” And the child-like, ever-so-innocent demeanor with which he demolished his antagonists was there right from the start.

I love Tweety Bird. I didn’t know he’s been around that long. I have some Tweety Bird pajama bottoms – lol.
P.S. That bag you made came out really cute.

Tweety is really a symbol of innocence and childhood, isn’t he? He’s very cute. I guess I didn’t realize he was that old either. Though, that was the golden age of cartoons.
You have chosen a nice gift for your friend’s daughter. I like tweety bird a lot and also tweeting in twitter. Did twitter, the greatest social media site get its name from this bird?
I always liked Tweety and even had a couple tee shirts years ago which I wore out. I had no clue Tweety was older than me.
