        From what i recall Foghorn Leghorn was a Samuel Clemens analogue in some skits

        • Particularly note the similarity:

          Samuel Langhorne Clemens
          Foghorn Leghorn Rooster

          (Maybe it's stretching it too far ... )

            That's what I guessed when I saw the middle name. I had previously heard he was based on a southern senator from the era of the cartoons (50's?) who had a fast-talking, patronizing way about him. [See also Elrod the Albino from the Cerebus comics... :-]

            You getting all this down boy, or am I going too fast for you?

            • Quite possible. Clemens was from Missouri, but moved to San Fran right around the war between the states, from what i recall. Though never a senator from what i recall, but who knows

              • I think the senator was a more contemporary figure, from around the 1950's, if that was the case.

                • Further research reveals Senator Claghorn was a fictional character from a 40's radio show...
