Whole bunch of these, a bit more risque then the standard cartoons of the era.  These were produced for the Army and not meant for public consumption.  Soldiers loved them though.  Warning, occasional cartoon nudity.  Just do a search for "Snafu".  All were produced by Warner Brothers and use the voice of Mel Blanc.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I thought you would appreciate something that has a character named "Technical Fairy, First Class".

Don't worry, we win in the end.

Back when the USA network first started (late 80s?) they apparently couldn't afford much content, so they showed all sorts of off the wall stuff.  They showed a bunch of these-- pretty hilarious, particularly when you put them into context.
