In this case, it's the old gag of the 'hero' dashing off to suit up only to return in the wrong costume completely! Quick Draw did it in two previous El Kabong-themed shorts, returning as a clown and a kid on a tricycle. Bugs and Daffy also went through this in their Superman spoofs as, respectively, Little Bo Peep and a witch.<br /><br />Adel might be referring to the interstitial bumpers in the Huck and Quick Draw shows which pretty much disappeared from syndicated reruns in the 1970s. Some have resurfaced on DVD, Youtube, and even some earlier CN showings of THE HUCKLEBERRY HOUND SHOW.<br /><br />I think Bob Carr animated this particular short.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-25157522625803001072014-02-07T09:29:09.856-08:002014-02-07T09:29:09.856-08:00I doubt it, SC.

I don't remember it off-hand.<br />However, there was one boarded cartoon, J-133, which doesn't appear to have been made.

I have a recollection of some Quick Draw cartoons that don't seem to be part of the original series, yet which were played as part of a package of H-B short cartoons aired on our local Seattle station in the late 60's or early 70's. One I have never been able to locate involved Quick Draw and Baba in a boat race. I may have it mixed up with another H-B series, but I doubt it, because my memory for old cartoons is pretty good. Could there be a handful of Quick Draws that were completed, but never aired as part of the original series?scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-20215472122679873822014-02-06T18:35:56.178-08:002014-02-06T18:35:56.178-08:00Thanks Yowp.

This has always been one of my favorite Queeksdraws.

The appealing part of glancing at storyboards is that they are imbued with a frantic energy. <br /><br />The production order (J-136) is very odd, as there were 135 cartoons in the Quick Draw trilogy. Could there have been more unproduced shorts for the final season of “Quick Draw”? Six episodes is an odd order for a season. <br /><br />The design for Senorita Rita owes her hairstyle to Wilma Flintstone, while her face resembles that of Betty Rubble. Not sure who was responsible for the background, but the green skies are nice. The sound cutter recycling the “Top Cat” underscore worked well during El-Kabong and Don Fatigo’s sword fight. <br />Adel Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134843745865355475noreply@blogger.com
