Touche Turtle spent one episode trying to catch 'Ricochet Rabbit', who other than speed, shared no characteristics (such as clothing or human speech abilities) with the "Ping-ping-PIIIING"ing sheriff of a couple of seasons later.<br /><br />One can imagine Hanna, Barbera, Lovy, and the writers sitting around the table planning the MAGILLA segments. "What can we call the rabbit sheriff? Hmmm- I seem to remember the name 'Ricochet Rabbit' from somewhere. That sounds funny and rolls off the tongue- let's use that."Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-58321567908800210972010-12-01T08:44:10.703-08:002010-12-01T08:44:10.703-08:00Great breakdown of this cartoon.

It's just the "Oh dear" line which is different. Daws did one of the giggling ghosts in Snooper's "Real Gone Ghosts", though it's not an escalated giggling like Smith's.<br /><br />Joe C., the use of "Puppetry Comedy" is a pure coincidence. That is the title on the original EMI recordings, not the Hi-Q library that H-B would have had. I try to use the original names if possible; if you see an "EM" or "PG" at the front of Green's cue, it's from Hi-Q. "GR" is what EMI used.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-40319033372713342742010-11-27T22:07:43.384-08:002010-11-27T22:07:43.384-08:00Just watched "picadilly dilly" on the yo...Just watched "picadilly dilly" on the youtube. great don patterson animation.david simmonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-25938496881857556082010-11-27T18:12:38.676-08:002010-11-27T18:12:38.676-08:00The changeover from Daws to Smith for Hardy is not...The changeover from Daws to Smith for Hardy is not puzzling at all, when you consider that Hal Smith could probably do sustained wild laughter better than Daws. <br /><br />Think the “Picadilly Dilly” (One of my most favorite Huck cartoons – not on DVD alas!) or Uncle Giggles Flintstone!
