I was never a big fan of the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons. But I love the story from the very earliest cartoons of them. Originally, Tweety was drawn without feathers. He wasn't yellow, just flesh colored. Then one of the cats in a cartoon said the line "There goes the naked genius now!" The Board of Standards (or whoever was in charge of that sort of thing) finally realized how Tweety was drawn and demanded that he be "dressed" somehow. So the animators simply put colored him yellow, making him look feathered. I just think it's hysterical that a bunch of middle-aged white guys in California could get worked up over a featherless bird in a cartoon.
