Tree for Two is a 1952 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng. It features Sylvester and also features the first of two appearances by Spike and Chester. The short was released on disc for the first time on the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 3.

Plot

Spike and Chester attempt to beat up Sylvester, but Spike instead ends up on the receiving end of a black panther that had escaped from the zoo. Chester tells his idol Spike that he knows of a cat that they can beat up. The cat is Freleng's own Sylvester, but every time Spike thinks he has the cat cornered, a runaway zoo black panther appears in Sylvester's place, thrashing the dog instead. When Chester decides to have a go of it, however, Sylvester finds himself at the little dog's mercy. By the cartoon's end, Spike and Chester have switched roles; Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter.

In Popular Culture

In the Family Guy episode "No Country Club for Old Men", Carter Pewterschmidt says to the founder of the country club to which he belongs, "You and me is pals, ain't we?", just as Chester says to Spike.
