In 1988, a live-action version of the two dogs appeared in a commercial for Kibbles 'n Bits, portrayed by both a real bulldog and terrier respectively. media, Spike's voice is provided by Joe Alaskey. In both of these cartoons, Spike is performed by voice actor Mel Blanc, and Chester is performed by Stan Freberg. Like the previous cartoon, Spike and Chester have switched roles at the end Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter. The final loss of face for Alfie is his being thrashed by a fly that has also been affected by the potion, as it occurs in front of Chester's eyes. Chester, of course, never sees this transformed Sylvester, thinking his buddy is being beaten by the tiny tomcat. Spike (here called "Alfie" and having a different accent) is once again after Sylvester, only this time it is Sylvester himself who pummels the poor pooch, thanks to a potion that transforms him into a feline monster. The characters' second outing came in the 1954 film " Dr. By the cartoon's end, Spike and Chester have switched roles Spike is the fawning sycophant, and Chester the smug prizefighter. When Chester decides to have a go of it, however, Sylvester finds himself at the little dog's mercy.

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. In it, Chester tells his idol Spike that he knows of a cat that they can beat up. The first of these cartoon films was 1952's " Tree for Two". As soon as Spike and Chester chase Sylvester, Spike runs afoul into aggressive feline "monsters" who prove to be far more dangerous than Spike himself, which ultimately results Spike getting pummeled heavily by the "monsters" which Chester remains oblivious to, and when Spike cowers in fear from the beatings he received, Chester fails to understand what Spike has gone through and just bluntly dismisses Spike as a coward. Each of these two cartoons have a repeated formula: Chester, who idolizes Spike for being "big and strong" in comparison to him whom is "so puny", constantly fawns over Spike and follows everywhere he goes much to the latter's annoyance, and Spike turns down all of Chester's ideas of fun except for beating up a cat who turns out to be none other than Sylvester. The characters starred in only two shorts, both directed by animator Friz Freleng and having the same concept. Chester is the exact opposite, a small and jumpy Jack Russell terrier with yellow fur and brown, perky ears. Spike is a burly, gray bulldog who wears a red sweater, a brown bowler hat, and a perpetual scowl.
