Bosko resulted after creators Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising left Disney Studios, enticed by higher wages and promises of work on Oswald the Rabbit cartoons for Universal (who had recently stolen Oswald from Disney).
The first Bosko cartoon, "Bosko the Talk-Ink Kid" (1929; a demo made to attract potential backers), made this issue clear as Bosko stepped forward and said, "Well, here I is and I sho' feels good." Then he does a soft shoe dance.
Bosko merrily moves from scene to scene, making music as he goes: a horses' tail becomes a violin, the planks on a porch become a xylophone, lily pads become drums, a pitchfork becomes a guitar, and shower streams become a harp.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Buddy
Buddy was created in a hurry, because the studio had unexpectedly lost its star, Bosko, when founding directors Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising moved to MGM.
He was often called "Bosko in whiteface", and the leaching from him of anything colorful extended to more than just his skin.
One of many ways in which Buddy resembled Bosko was that he had a girlfriend, Cookie, to match Bosko's Honey.

Great screenshots, Del. That is one of only three Bosko cartoons missing in my collection (including Hey Hey Fever), so it's very interesting to see pics of the LT-version of Bosko in a colour MGM cartoon.
It is odd to see Bosko in colour isn't it! "Parlor Pranks" retains much of the jazzy Schlesinger flavor! I imagine MGM didn't want color WB cartoons though! The Happy Harmonies quickly evolved towards the Silly Symphonies ilk....
In that one, Bosko enters the film with a saccarine female chorus lamenting Bosko's poverty, then the whole thing becomes a dream sequence in Mother Goose land.

The description of the Warners is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Bosko, Warner Bros.' first cartoon character, whose cartoons were not highly regarded by many people.
The red-nosed Warner siblings bear a striking resemblance to the portrayals of Bosko and his girlfriend Honey in a 1990 episode of Tiny Toon Adventures, also created by Steven Spielberg.
Afraid that the portrayals of Bosko and Honey might be deemed controversial, they were changed to anthropomorphic doglike characters, and that episode served as the "bridge" between Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs.
