'''Bosko''' is a humanoid, dancing rubberhose cartoon character with a falsetto voice and personality resembling that of Mickey Mouse. He was created for Warner Bros. by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising to rival Disney's Mickey series and was the first star from the ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon series. Bosko wore long pants and a derby hat, had a girlfriend named Honey, and a dog named Bruno. He was also sometimes accompanied by an orphan cat named Wilber and an often antagonistic goat, particularly in early cartoons.

In keeping with the style of the early Mickey shorts, Bosko is a natural at singing, dancing, and playing any instrument he encounters. In fact, Bosko has the ability to play virtually anything as an instrument, be it a wooden bridge-turned-xylophone or a Dachshund-turned-accordion.

* ''Sinkin' in the Bathtub'' was the first ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon.
* Both, Bosko's debut in ''The Talk-Ink Kid'' and his public debut in ''Sinkin' in the Bathtub'', did not have their copyright renewed.
* While most of the content of the issues of "The Funnies", including Bosko's appearances within are in the public domain, the book was an anthology, featuring stories by a number of authors who registered and renewed their contributions separately. These being: Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and John Carter, Warlord of Mars as well as Whitman Publishing's Rex King of the Deep, Sky Ranger, and Speed Martin.
