Of Thee I Sting is a 1946 Warner Bros. cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, written by Michael Maltese and narrated by Robert C. Bruce that is a parody of World War II documentaries and the title Of Thee I Sing.^[1] Material was reused from the Target Snafu cartoon.

In Target for Tonight style a narrator briefs the audience on a mosquito attack upon a picnic.

It was one of the first entries in the Looney Tunes series to end with a script "that's all folks!" written over the rings, with a shortened version of the main theme playing. It was also the first such cartoon to be reissued, in the 1951-52 season. On the Turner "dubbed version", the Merrie Melodies end theme plays instead (such errors plagued several of the other "dubbed versions" as well).
