+In 1927, Harman and Ising were still working for the Walt Disney Studios on a series of live-action/animated short subjects now known as the [*<u>Alice Comedies</u>*](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Alice_Comedies). Hugh Harman created Bosko in 1927 to capitalize on the new "[<u>talkie</u>](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talkie)" craze that was sweeping the motion picture industry. Harman began thinking about making a sound cartoon with Bosko in 1927 before he even left Walt Disney. Hugh Harman made drawings of the new character and registered it with the copyright office on 3 January 1928 under the name of Bosko, ironically a few months before Mickey's creation.
+Then, they released the pilot for Looney Tunes named "Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid" from 1929. A year later, they released the first Looney Tunes episode "Sinkin' in the Bathtub" from 1930 featuring Bosko.
+In 1933, Harman and Ising broke with Warner Bros. over budget disputes with Schlesinger. Having learned from Walt Disney's experiences with [<u>Oswald the Lucky Rabbit</u>](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_the_Lucky_Rabbit), they had carefully kept all rights to the Bosko character, and they took him with them. The two found work with [<u>MGM</u>](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM) where they launched the [*<u>Happy Harmonies</u>*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Harmonies) cartoon series. At first, Bosko appeared in his original design, and some of the old animation from the *Looney Tunes* series was even reused in those *Happy Harmonies* that features Bosko. After only two cartoons, the character was redesigned into an identifiable boy with an overactive imagination. This redesigned Bosko, whom many consider to be a different character altogether, in spite of having the same name, only starred in seven cartoons before Harman and Ising discontinued the character.
