Best scene from the cartoon referred to above (where Foghorn babysits a precocious, egghead chick) is when Foghorn is playing "hide-and-go-seek" with the kid. Foghorn hides in some kind of bin while the kid counts, and says, "Hee-hee... That boy's gonna need a slide rule to find me!" So of course when the kid is done counting, he produces a slide rule, and proceeds to make some calculations to figure out where Foghorn is. He makes a map, and walks out to the middle of a field and starts to dig (we lose sight of Foghorn at this point). Immediately, he digs up Foghorn, who looks rather dazed by the whole thing ("How, ah say how'd you find me, boy?", etc.) As they walk off, they pass the feed bin where Foghorn should be hiding, and Foghorn pauses, and then says "No, I better not check. I may just be in there." Pretty surreal. Don't know the name of the kid or his mother. I do however know that the name of the small brown chicken hawk in many Foghorn Leghorn cartoons is Henery. Frequently, characters in WB cartoons never acquire names until they have been established in several cartoons - they usually get their start by appearing in other characters' cartoons and don't have names. Some may never get names. -Steve Shiue "Great stunt Daffy! They loved you!" (Bugs Bunny) "I know, I know. But I can only do it once." (Daffy Duck)
