A Peck o' Trouble (1953)
I remember watching this!
My favorite scene in this cartoon is the part where Dodsworth uses a huge pole to propel the kitten up to the tree. The woodpecker puts a bottle of nitroglycerin onto the pole and drills 1/2 of the pole, resulting in the bottle falling down. Dodsworth puts a blindfold on and lights a cigarette.
Then the nitroglycerin blows up on Dodsworth which results in Dodsworth being on fire (the scene shows Dodsworth frantically trying to extinguish the flames a la Sylvester in "Ain't She Tweet")
This cartoon was in heavy rotation when Nickelodeon aired The Looney Tunes cartoons during 1988-97?
Ain't She Tweet (1952)
Some really good gags
The best scenes in this short are where Sylvester spends a minute inside a garage reading a blueprint on how to build a rocket in which he will fly over the dogs in order to reach Tweety, then he builds it (albeit low-budget looking!). When Sylvester lights the fuse, the rocket blows up on him and he ends up on fire and he frantically runs around trying to extinguish the flames.
This is similar to a gag in another WB Cartoon "Peck O'Trouble" where Dodsworth the Cat ended up on fire after a bottle of Nitroglycerine exploded on him while he lit up a cigarette)
Of course, there are a few other cartoons where Sylvester ends up with his backside on fire
"All A-Bird" "Tugboat Granny" "Tweety Pie" "Tweety's Circus" "Fowl Weather" "Tweety's S.O.S." "Snow Business"
