QTTV
Fictional television station used in a handful of 1950s shorts (e.g. Wideo Wabbit (McKimson, 1956)). Possibly a play on KTTV, a contemporary Los Angeles television station.
Quentin Quail
Character used by Chuck Jones in the cartoon of the same name (1946); the character is loosely based on the character of the father of Baby Snooks on the Fanny Brice radio show. An undated drawing appears in the Beck book on Sylvester and Tweety, apparently drawn by Bob Clampett, showing a very Tweety-like character with a quail topknot. The text indicates that the designs were not used, though it does not provide any further detail, including why the Tweety form was used.
It has been pointed out that San Quentin Quail is (or was) a slang term for underage girls, of the type that Errol Flynn was imagined to be chasing in the 1940s. (San Quentin being a California penitentiary where violators, so to speak, would be sent to serve time.)
