We did buy these punch out toys, put them together, and let them stand. .I would do my best Huck or Yogi impressions, use my imagination, and create new episodes that never existed. Those "original " episodes have long been shelved somewhere in the recesses of my mind, only to be brought back to life by this blog.

Kids today have so little imagination, because it is all done for them.<br /><br />I, too, remember those minor characters being presented in merchandising as if they were stars in their own right. (Well, perhaps Yowp should be allowed an extra measure of fame, huh?) I specifically remember encountering Yowp as part of a playing card set--and then later recognizing him when one of his Yogi appearances was run on TV. Yet, as a kid I accepted that if a character was important enough to appear in merchandising, then it didn't matter how many or few appearances he made in the actual cartoons--it obviously was a noteworthy character if it warranted its own appearance in a coloring book or punch-out book, card set, or whatever.scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.com
