Cartoon dog chomps on bone.

Cartoon person receives finger poke in eye.

Anyone know how these well-known and rarely varied sounds were
originally made?

Celery or crushing a cheap Easter basket.

If you are asking about the plucking sound, they used to build a special
frame with a guitar string. Pluck the string and pull on the frame to make
it go up, pluck and release the frame to make it go down. Saw instructions
for building one somewhere on the web.

Or crush a handful of dry egg noodles.

My favorite is the bongo thing when Fred Flintstone is taking off at a dead
run.

I think that was used for all of the Hanna-Barbera chars (though the one
I'm thinking of sounded more like a snare/rim thing than bongos). IIRC, the
official HB soundEFX are for sale ... I think it was Markertek that
had them in the catalog.

As is most of every cartoon spot hit, the Hanna Barberra sound effects
collection pretty much nailed 3 generations of us into what these things
meant. The real WB theatricals did a LOT of this with Stallings' scoring
ideas... Brilliant.
Which now that I think about it, sound a LOT like what HB copied in timbre
when they crated their all-purpose reusable cues a decade or so later...

And yeah, the Bongo-Feet/ricochet thing
(BUKKA-takka-tak-BUKKA-takka-tak-BUKKA-takka-takka-PWHEEEINNNNnnnngggg) is
about THE most bizzare and brain-etched!
