Claude the Crab

Claude the Crab is a red and blind crab character in "Bush and Looney Original Shorts", which was originally titled simply "Bush and Looney". He was one of the little, seemingly insignificant, "big things come in small packages" characters, like Puffer, Starfish, Mousey and Mousepod, and Kevin, who are all albeit more famous than his character, and the opposite of Snowy. His first appearance was the 1941 short, "Put It On My Crab", with Looney the lion. Looney tries to have a relaxing vacation, and the poor blind crab continues to inadvertently disrupt his relaxation. He keeps trying to rude do away with him, but he continues to best the lion. After two shorts with Looney, he would appear in the three Otty the otter cartoons in which they swam together. He would appear in 6 shorts altogether, the last one being "Crab Lauder" in 1967, where Otty is angry that he was beaten in a swimming race by a blind crab. He is occasionally shown on the modernized version of Bush and Looney today.
