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

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.
