** 1939's "[[Old Glory]]" is educational as well, though unlike the aforementioned Sloan shorts, it doesn't contain comedy at all. Rather, it's a history lesson on the Revolutionary War and the formation of the U.S., with Porky learning about it from Uncle Sam in the wraparounds. |

** In at least one [[WWII]]-vintage cartoon, [[Bugs Bunny]] was apparently rejected for military service (the sole of one foot is stamped "4F") for something so minor that it didn't prevent him from performing his usual antics. |

** In another, this gets [[Played With]]. Bugs gets a draft letter mistakenly sent his way instead of to B. Bonny; he passes the health exam due to perfect eyesight and the doctor thinking he's seeing a rabbit skeleton on the X-ray due to hallucinations. When the general finds out they hired a rabbit, after Bugs blew up the military camp using a shell to hammer a photo, they say that Bugs can't work on the frontlines because he's not human. They have him testing shells in the factory instead. |
