Then of course we had all sorts of comic books featuring
talking animals and when TV came along talking cars, mules and
horses.

 
There were movies about talking mules before TV.

Indeed there were and race horses that talked to losers to
make them winners. I well remember Francis the Talking Mule.

When my children were small I used to embarass them in front of
friends by singing TV theme songs to them - so of course I know "A
horse is a horse of course of course...." (the first line of the
Mister Ed theme song) in front of their friends.

According to WP the Mr. Ed showrunner wanted to do a Francis show, but
the rights weren't available so he licensed another talking horse IP.

And don't forget the proposed Unix 'errno' value:

EMR.ED A host is a host,
From coast to coast
And nobody talks to a host that's close,
Unless the host that isn't close
Is busy, hung, or dead.
