The Lost Toons: Bosko

This is Bosko playing the piano.
The Lost Toons Present:                  Bosko!
Bosko was the 1st Looney Tunes star. Nowadays, he is pretty much forgotten, but, historians have payed attention to him in recent years. When television started, they aired Bosko's cartoons too. Bosko cartoons can be viewed on YouTube. Bosko isn't really forgotten, but, he is definitely NOT a star. Enjoy my post about Bosko!

Creator(s): Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising

Created in: 1929

First appeared in: Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid (WB, 1929)

Last appeared in: Little Ol' Bosko in Bagdad (MGM, 1938)

Characters in Bosko cartoons: Bosko (star), Honey (girlfriend), Bruno (dog), Wilbur (Honey's piano teacher/pet)

Fun Fact: The first official Looney Tunes cartoon was made in 1930, and it was called Sinkin in the Bathtub, it starred Bosko in it.
