Sufferin' Sasquatch is the first webisode of the Mysterious Phenomena of the Unexplained series of Webtoons cartoons.
Title[]
The title is a play on Sylvester's famous line, "Sufferin' succotash."
Plot[]
In Autumn 1937, Sylvester Sr. and a young Sylvester are on a family camping trip. Sylvester Sr. is relaxing while Sylvester goes into the forest to collect firewood. Sylvester starts to hear growls and rustling, which terrifies him. When he turns around, he sees a large beast and panics. As he's running away, he falls into a giant foot-shaped hole. There, the beast reappears, terrifying Sylvester once again.
In the present day, Daffy Duck, hosting Mysterious Phenomena of the Unexplained, questions whether Sylvester really saw the creature known as Bigfoot. Daffy looks up Bigfoot's file, describing other names that Bigfoot is sometimes known by -Sasquatch, Gigantopithecus, and the Florida Skunk-Ape- even comparing Bigfoot to his brother-in-law and cameraman Howard. Meanwhile, Sylvester tells Junior about seeing Bigfoot in his youth when they hear a distant growl, and Bigfoot expert Sasquatch Sam arrives to confirm the growl belonging to Bigfoot before going off to capture the cryptid. Daffy explains that the show had offered Sam a ten-thousand-dollar reward for conclusive evidence of Bigfoot's existence. However, it turns out that Sam, being who he is, is attempting to defraud the show of the reward, using a stereo to provide the growls and then dressing up in a Bigfoot costume, knowing he needs to let the camera take his picture and leave a few footprints. Before he can carry out this plan, however, he is confronted by something horrifying. Sylvester and Junior hear both Bigfoot's growls and Sam's scream of fright, making them think there were two Sasquatches and then run off in fright upon seeing Sam in his Bigfoot costume, thinking Bigfoot was eating Sam. Just as Sam begs them to come back, his picture ends up being taken.
Daffy states there is plenty of fake evidence of Bigfoot, including the accidental one of Sam in his costume. He concludes by saying that Bigfoot would remain a mystery until someone actually captures the elusive cryptid. As Daffy then muses to himself about how gullible those who believe Bigfoot actually exists are, the real Bigfoot suddenly appears behind him. The last shot is a photo of Daffy being chased by Bigfoot, while he is seemingly attacked off-screen by the cryptid.

Notes[]
- In the original webtoon, at certain points the viewer could click on the screen as they heard various sound effects being made by Bigfoot, allowing them to take pictures showing Bigfoot doing something relating to the sound effect, like pulling a funny face or trimming his toenails with a chainsaw. The viewer could make the photos develop faster by dragging them around.
- This is the only appearance of Sylvester Senior.
- Bigfoot would later make numerous appearances in New Looney Tunes with a different design.
- This was the last appearance of Sylvester Junior until the Looney Tunes Cartoons short "Happy Birthday Bugs Bunny!" 19 years later.
