Cleverly directed by Chuck Jones, "Steal Wool" is a Warner Bros. cartoon starring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. After they go through their usual morning ritual of going to work together and clocking in, this cartoon then gets down to business. Sam guards the sheep while Ralph tries to steal them for a snack. Wherever Ralph goes, Sam goes, but we never see Sam move; Ralph sneaks over toward a sheep and WHAM, Sam appears, and you can be certain he's not too happy.
Here are my favorite moments from "Steal Wool". As Sam catches Ralph with a sheep, Ralph pushes the sheep away and dances a quick jig; he ends up with an accordion nose. Some wonderful sound effects abound during the final gag involving a giant rubber band and two huge boulders.
You know what's peculiar about the relationship between Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog? Ralph consistently gets pummeled by Sam, but when the two of them begin and end their workday, they're best friends, as though there were no such physical confrontations between them!
