What happens

Bye, Bye Bluebeard is a Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series released on October 21, 1949. The cartoon was directed by Arthur Davis and stars Porky Pig. The title is a play on the song "Bye Bye Blackbird". It is the final Looney Tunes entry directed by Davis before his animation unit was dissolved by Warner Bros. and also a rare example of a Warner Bros. short in which a character (apparently) dies without a comic postscript (for example, reappearing as an angel or a ghost).
