In case you haven't read Yowp's post about these guys, Three Mixed-Up Moose was intended to be another series of theatrical shorts following Loopy de Loop. It never panned out, but the basic idea was reused for the aforementioned Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey. While the story behind the shorts is known, I haven't seen any site spotlight the following layout images from them. These are sourced from archived internet auctions, and beyond Yowp's post, appear to be the only trace of the shorts online. We've got the titular three moose, a king and princess, and a knight who looks just a little like Mr. Cogswell.
I find it pretty interesting that they pivoted from moose characters to dogs. Perhaps they didn't want to tread on Bullwinkle's territory? Regardless, I was pleasantly surprised to come across these recently. I hope you dig these as much as I did.
