He also did Desperate Dan after the original artist, Dudley Watkins, died. In "The Topper" comic he drew "Splodge", "Willy Nilly", "Foxy" and "Shorty Shambles". Grigg swiftly became the definitive "Korky the Cat" artist when he took over the artistic duties from James Crighton on the cover of The Dandy in the early 1960s.

Sylvester the Cat the first. "Notes to You" was remade in color in one of Sylvester's cartoons, "Back Alley Oproar". "The Hep Cat" features another version, as well as "Birdy and the Beast", which features Tweety Bird. Before Sylvester's appearance in the cartoons, Blanc voiced a character named Sylvester on "The Judy Canova Show" using the voice that would eventually become associated with the cat. Sylvester shows a lot of pride in himself and never gives up. Despite (or perhaps because of) his pride and persistence, Sylvester is, with rare exceptions, placed squarely on the "loser" side of the Looney Tunes winner/loser hierarchy.
