Screencap of cartoon ear-canal tropes

Hello helpful Help/Advice forum, today I ask this of thee:

Remember how in most old cartoons, ear canals were basically made out to be a straight line connecting both ears? What I'm looking for is a screencap of those classical moments, e.g. someone whispering into someone else's ear, and a third character can listen to what's being whispered through the other person's ear.

Or how they easily put a stick through the ear canal, or water going in one side, and coming out the other.

The only episode I can remember precisely where it sorta happens is in a classical Disney Cartoon,

but it's not too clear here, anyone remember any other cartoons/episodes where this happens? Thanks!

    There is an episode of Looney Tunes that is a parody of Jack and the Beanstalk where Bugs runs through the ears of the giant. I can't remember the exact episode title though.

    Ooh, that shouldn't be too hard to find. Keep 'em coming!

    Google image search gives me some pretty terrible results, I'm really looking for something classic that reminds us all of our childhood.

    Ooh, look what I found...

    I don't see any pictures, at a glance, but if images are what you're after that might give you a place to start.
