Before Woody would rise to the top of Walter Lantz’s cartoon empire, Andy Panda served as the lead. In fact, Woody’s first appearance was as a supporting character in the Andy Panda’s cartoon, Knock Knock (1940). After Mel Blanc developed Woody’s iconic laugh, Lantz’s wife, Grace Stafford also often provided voice to the classic Woodpecker.
