After watching shorts liked "Hooked Bear", "Bearly Asleep", "Beezy Bear" and others, Humphry had the chops to be a contender had they given him a serious chance. Heck, they even did a couple of Mouseworks/House of Mouse shorts with him and Don and it still worked.

Although I still feel the Humphrey gets treated unfairly in this short, if the series had continued he will have probably "win some and lose in others".
