Nasty Canasta
Thuggish villain faced by Dripalong Daffy in two Chuck Jones cartoons Dripalong Daffy (1951) and My Little Duckeroo (1954). A less menacing and more comic version of Nasty is seen in Barbary Coast Bunny (also Jones, 1956), where he makes the mistake of cheating Bugs out of some gold, and pays for it in a series of gambling losses that defy logic.
Nazarro, Cliff
Personality best known for a jaw-busting double-talk routine (which he himself did in The Penguin Parade (Avery, 1938) as the emcee penguin, and parodied in Fifth Column Mouse (Freleng, 1943) by a mouse planning a mission against a cat). Nazarro also provided the voice for Egghead, the forerunner of Elmer Fudd. The voice was, in part, based on Joe Penner.
Neiman, Fred
Story writer for WB c. 1938, whose sole on-screen credit is Now That Summer Is Gone (Tashlin, 1938).
Nixon, Richard
What appears to be a photo of Nixon taken from a contemporary newspaper shows up in the mock newspaper announcing Bugs Bunnys volunteering (sort of) for a mission to the moon in Haredevil Hare (Jones, 1948). (Nixon appears to be the second figure on the right.) Nixon at this time was a freshman congressman from Orange County, California who would likely have received some publicity in local Los Angeles newspapers of the era.
Noble, Maurice
Layout artist for the Chuck Jones unit in the 1950s, responsible for some of the remarkable graphic effects that that unit produced in the 1950s (most notably in Hare-way to the Stars (1958), Whats Opera, Doc? (1957), and Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century (1953). Noble was closely associated with Jones, receiving co-director credit on a number of cartoons in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and continued to work with Jones when Jones worked for MGM in the 1960s.
Noble is also responsible for some of the background work in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
Non-stop Corrigan
At one point in A Feud There Was (Avery, 1938), a warring hillbilly has an unseen person cornered in a cellar. His inquiry of: Whos that down thar in the cellar? is met with the reply to the effect that the person is Non-stop Corrigan who was lost.
This is a reference to a well-known event of the time, when Douglas G. Corrigan of Los Angeles flew from Brooklyn across the Atlantic to Dublin without permission or passport on July 17, 1938. Corrigan was immediately hailed as Wrong-way Corrigan, and saluted with a parade in New York (the New York Post printing its front-page headline of the event in reverse). Considering the cartoon was released on September 24, 1938, this was fast work on the part of Avery. Note that Stalling plays Wearing of the Green on the soundtrack.
