Warner Bros. parodies Holmes
I had almost forgotten about this 1956 parody of Sherlock Holmes that Chuck Jones directed for Warner Bros. I'm sure this is one of the earliest Sherlock Holmes parodies I ever saw (either this one, or Sherlock Hemlock from Sesame St.).
Daffy Duck is Dorlock Holmes, and Porky Pig is Mr. Watkins. The two live on Beeker St. in London (at No. 221 ⁷⁄₁₆). When we first see Mr. Holmes, he is working on his (tax) deductions. Eventually he tackles the Shropshire Slasher, with predictably hilarious results. (Especially the way Daffy says "Shropshire Slasher"...)
You can watch the cartoon at the link below. Enjoy!
