I could see the same for Iggy and Ziggy. Even the Snickering Dog and Wee Willie could probably have sustained the rigors of merchandising. <br /><br />The two wolves from “Sheep-Shape Sheepherder” clearly evolved into Hokey Wolf and Ding-a-Ling.<br /><br />Same for The Little Duck in early Yogi Bear becoming Yakky Doodle. And even Yowp became a very successful blogger.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-59787379175250677902012-01-17T15:29:02.312-08:002012-01-17T15:29:02.312-08:00Joe, just judging by what Barbera said at the time...Joe, just judging by what Barbera said at the time, Kellogg's looked at characters and suggested other cartoons be made with them. That's how Snuffles ended up in a bunch of cartoons. So I suspect Barbera told Foster that the sponsors wanted them developed so he went to work.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-6308467433200325382012-01-17T05:19:42.926-08:002012-01-17T05:19:42.926-08:00I sometimes wonder about Foster’s doing sequels to...I sometimes wonder about Foster’s doing sequels to a number of the First Season Barbera / Shows cartoons – like this one, the one with Leroy the Lion, Powerful Pierre, Dinky Dalton, etc. And, if memory serves for certain cartoons I haven’t seen in over two decades (due to their not being on DVD!), Pierre and Dinky even *looked different* in that “Foreign Legion” cartoon and the one with Dinky as a prisoner on a train. <br /><br />Did H. and B. actually tell Foster to write sequels to these? Or, did Foster simply try to draw and expand on some of the existing works? Guess we’ll never know…Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
