I believe it was Kiro, a little blue guy who served the same story role as Lois Lane--get in trouble and scream for help a lot.

I've seen it spelled a couple of different ways, but Lightning lad got it -- "Kyro" fits the bill!

I seem to remember reading that it was supposed to be "Yensid Tlaw" ("Walt Disney" in Zatanna-speak ).

The next question concerns the Warner Bros cartoons of the Golden Age. In the long-running conflict between Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny, on those occasions when Elmer believed he had succeeded in killing Bugs, he almost always regretted it instantly. I can think of one cartoon where Elmer actually enjoyed his (apparent) victory, for the few seconds before he realized that Bugs was still alive. Name the cartoon, or at least descibe it in sufficient detail for sure identification.

Well, he was pretty pumped in the opera spoof when he "killed da wabbit." Is that the one you mean?

Nope, Elmer really does win in What's Opera, Doc? And he's blubbering like a baby as he carries Bugs's body towards Valhalla.

I can't remember the name, but is it the one where Bugs (supposedly in his hole and out of sight) goes "I'm kicking the bucket, Doc." Literally kicks a bucket behind Elmer. Elmer goes "Hurray! The Rabbit kicked the bucket." Bugs then grabs Elmer's hands and they dance around singing "The Rabbit kicked the bucket! The Rabbit kicked the bucket!" As Elmer wises up Bugs does give the line "The bucket kicked the Rabbit."

The business Quislet, Esq describes occurs near the beginning of Robot Rabbit. Elmer is trying to stop Bugs from raiding his vegetable garden, and calls Acme Pest Control for help. They send him a robot exterminator "with an ewectwonic bwain" and the bulk of the cartoon consists of Bugs clashing with the robot.
Over to Quislet, Esq.

OK. Warner Brothers also did a series of cartoons where the characters of books and magazines came to life. In one, Daffy Duck makes an appearance. The question is what song did Daffy sing and which character did Daffy try to save?

I remember he was doing a Danny Kaye character and was singing "Nothing could be feena than to be in Caroleena in the morrrrr-nink."
Whom does he try to save? Hmmm. I'm drawing a blank at the moment.
