Honey
Sinkin' in the Bathtub
Release date: 1930-04-19
Plot: Bosko starts his day with a musical bath, then takes his trusty car (and plenty of good cheer) on a slapstick journey to pick up Honey, turning the countryside into his personal orchestra.
Name and role: Honey debuts as Bosko's sweetheart, quick with a song and even quicker to join in the fun. She's playful, musical, and not afraid to give Bosko a hard time when his antics get out of hand, already more than a simple love interest.
Trivia and other appearances: This marks Honey's very first appearance; she will become a regular co-star in later Bosko shorts. Honey continued to appear alongside Bosko in Warner Bros. shorts until 1933, and then followed him to MGM from 1934, with both characters receiving a redesign. Later she appears as a mentor for Babs Bunny in the episode 'Fields of Honey'in 1990

Yodeling Yokels
Release date: 1931-04-17
Plot: Bosko traverses the Alpine landscape to visit Honey. Upon arrival, they joyfully yodel together, embracing the mountainous setting. Their merriment leads them into a series of comedic misadventures, culminating in Honey becoming stranded on an ice floe drifting down a river. Bosko, with the assistance of a Saint Bernard dog, embarks on a daring rescue to save her.
Name and role: The duo of Bosko and Honey is portrayed as a functional couple, there's no endless chase or never-ending quest for affection. They're just happy together, enjoying their adventures, even if those adventures inevitably end in complete disaster.
Trivia and other appearances: As for our two protagonists, they'll still pop up in quite a few shorts over the next couple of years, before their big restyle and the move to MGM. Their final appearance together will be as cameos in Tiny Toon Adventures ('Fields of Honey' in 1990 and 'Two-Tone Town' in 1992). As for the St. Bernard, give him a proper farewell, because we're never going to see him again.

Bosko at the Beach
Release date: 1932-07-23
Plot: Bosko, Honey, Bruno, and Wilbur spend a day at the beach. Bosko sells hot dogs, which come to life and play jump rope. The group enjoys various beach activities, including surfing and dancing. The fun turns to concern when Wilbur nearly drowns, but Bruno rescues him, ensuring the day's enjoyment continues.
Name and role: Honey appears, in all her musical joy, in a typical bathing suit of the era, and only in this short. The kind of beach look that today we might see only on Granny.
Trivia and other appearances: Honey has been by Bosko's side since 1930 in Sinkin' in the Bathtub, and as the shorts go on, both her role and that of the kitten Wilbur become increasingly prominent. Warner was starting to realize that it could evolve its characters as the shorts progressed. We're still far from the idea of the Looney Tunes, but something is beginning to take shape.
