To me, it just seemed as if when they wanted to use him in the same confident heckler way they had in his Quick Draw appearances, they just pulled out the Major, instead of trying to vary the opponents (though lord knows, even though the routines could blur one cartoon with another after a while, it was still better than the variation on the Snaglepuss-Major Minor dynamic Alex Lovy took with him over to Warner Brothers a few years later).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-64317989870465743332014-08-27T22:33:57.745-07:002014-08-27T22:33:57.745-07:00Oh, and way back when I first saw the cartoons, th...Oh, and way back when I first saw the cartoons, there was no “Orange Snag” and “Pink Snag”… only GRAY Snag! …Gray everything-else, too. <br /><br />And, that’s how he was colored in his earliest comic book appearances.

To me, it makes for a better series when a character is just as likely to lose as he is to win – <i>Bugs Bunny, excepted, of course.</i> That’s what makes Huckleberry Hound so great, not to mention Carl Barks’ comic book Donald Duck. I think Major Minor appeared just about the “right” number of times, to be entertaining and avoid repetitive formula. Lyla, too. <br /><br />And just one more thing to appreciate about the body of work by Michael Maltese at Hanna-Barbera was his tendency to use “guest characters” in multiple series: Snagglepuss (In Quick Draw, Snooper, and Augie), The J. Evil Scientist family (He very likely wrote the 1960s comic book story where J. Evil met Top Cat.), Bigelow, and Harum and Scarum. <br /><br />Why, he even took “Wyle E. Coyote Super Genius” out of the Road Runner cartoons, and pitted him against Bugs Bunny. And, don’t we ALL love that! <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-89319511332516636822014-08-27T22:02:22.259-07:002014-08-27T22:02:22.259-07:00Pink Snag struggled a little bit to stay out of th...Pink Snag struggled a little bit to stay out of the 'formula' cartoons with Major Minor. They allowed him to keep his role from his 'orange' period as an erudite heckler who comes out on top, but to me a lot of them start blending together in my mind (they did mix things up with solo Snaglepuss efforts, but in those he tends to be more at the mercy of whomever the co-star(s) of the moment are. As with the Warner shorts where Bugs is on the wrong end of the abuse, even if the gags are funny, the overall vibe just doesn't feel right).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-65152168249381701982014-08-27T16:42:58.747-07:002014-08-27T16:42:58.747-07:00And this Snagglepuss episode brings something fami...And this <i>Snagglepuss</i> episode brings something familiar in the layouts. <br />The layouts were made by Walter Clinton (with his habitual "low-ear" style). <br /><br />. rodineisilveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751345474415214163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-58674931430882065032014-08-27T08:13:18.645-07:002014-08-27T08:13:18.645-07:00When I read that the person who did the background...When I read that the person who did the background painting had a connection to William Hanna, the first name that came to mind was Michael Lah.
