'''“The Dixie Fryer”''' was a 1960 WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies cartoon starring WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn and directed by Creator/RobertMcKimson. None of his usual foils or counterpoints are here — no Henery Hawk, no Miss Prissy, and no Barnyard Dawg. Just him and a father-and-son pair of hillbilly buzzards (the same ones from the late 1950s Bugs Bunny cartoon, "Backwoods Bunny"), in what becomes a RoadRunnerVsCoyote characterization.

Meanwhile, Elvis and his Pappy are sitting in a nest high in a tree, lamenting their dinner of black-eyed peas. Then they notice Foghorn relaxing away and see an opportunity for a feast. HilarityEnsues as they go into a back-and-forth, which ultimately ends with the buzzards blasted right back into their nest. Rather than stew over their failures, the buzzards decide to have some black-eyed peas after all — after Pappy pokes Elvis in the eyes.

*{{Bowdlerization}}:
**On the syndicated version of ''The Merrie Melodies Show'', the part where Elvis accidentally shoots Pappy in the head after Foghorn Leghorn yells, "Fire!" was replaced with a still shot of Foghorn Leghorn looking offscreen.
**The version shown on Nickelodeon's ''Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon'' cut Foghorn Leghorn getting his beak shot off during the duel between Pappy and Elvis, along with the part near the end where Pappy pokes Elvis in the eyes after Elvis comments that the peas in the can aren't "black-eyed" peas.
**The version shown on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show'' had the gun parts that ''The Merrie Melodies Show'' and ''Looney Tunes on Nick'' cut and the eye-poking part that ''Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon'' cut, making for a more severely edited version.
