A Horse Fly Fleas is a 1947 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short. It was written by Warren Foster and directed by Robert McKimson.[2] The short was released on December 13, 1947.[3]

The short stars A. Flea, the nearly-microscopic protagonist of An Itch in Time from 1943. It is rarely aired in television due to stereotypical portrayals of Native Americans.

Originally released in Cinecolor, the cartoon was reissued in three-strip Technicolor during the 1955–56 season.

Plot

A Flea tries to find a good home. He is accompanied by a horse fly. They settle on a dog, not knowing that it is the house of an Indian flea.
