Chuck Jones was influenced by Charlie Chaplin...

"Animator Chuck Jones, an enormous fan of Chaplin’s, lifted a few Chaplin gags for his Looney Tunes characters. For Bugs Bunny, he borrowed from The Gold Rush the idea of someone hallucinating that their pal is a piece of meat, and used it in several cartoons. (He also riffed on the Great Dictator’s dueling barbershop chairs for “The Rabbit of Seville,” starring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.)" ~ 10 Things I Learned: The Gold Rush By Abbey Lustgarten

Wackiki Wabbit (1943) is one of the episodes with the "someone hallucinating that their pal is a piece of meat" theme.

What are some other episodes with that theme? Which was the first? I believe there are a few more.
