I swear someone at H-B loved that plot and kept recycling it with some variation. Here are other examples I know...<br /><br />Breezly and Sneezly: "SPIES IN THE OINTMENT" (two spies sneak into a military base using polar bear and seal costumes that happen to look just like Breezly and Sneezly)<br />Ricochet Rabbit: "TWO TOO MANY" (a small midget criminal disguise as Ricochet to frame him for sending him to jail)<br />Squiddly Diddly: "SQUIDDLY DOUBLE DIDDLY" (a Paul Frees-voiced spy impersonates Squiddly to sneak into the aquarium to seal secret plans)<br />Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?: "NEVER APE AN APE MAN" (the Ape Man uses a full rubber Scooby-Doo mask at one point in the episode to confuse the real dog, which Shaggy then repeats) and "SCOOBY'S GOLD MEDAL GAMBIT" (when the escaped criminal The Chameleon dresses up as Scooby-Doo as one of his disguises to infiltrate the Olympic events)<br />Hong Kong Phooey: "HONG KONG PHOOEY vs. HONG KONG PHOOEY" (where the titular kung-fu dog and his sidekick Spot the Cat are BOTH impersonated by a midget farmer in a Hong Kong Phooey suit, and his dog in a Spot suit, to claim the awards Phooey turned down)<br />Grape Ape: (I don't know the title, but someone told me about the episode, where someone disguises as Beegle Beagle and uses a giant mechanical Grape Ape to frame our heroes)<br />The Scooby-Doo/Richie Rich Show: (Again, I don't know the title, but it features the villain Dr. Disguise, among other impersonations, disguises as Richie Rich to swipe his fortune)<br /><br />See what I mean?Wiley207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-60692023698408486802011-04-11T16:49:08.089-07:002011-04-11T16:49:08.089-07:00"Yowp-Yowp" Dodsworth,

A Yogi cartoon ending with an outcue from the Quick Draw trilogy?! On occasion, 1958 cues would be heard under an early Quick Draw or Snooper & Blabber short (and only once, situationally, in the Augie short "Pipsqueak Pop"). <br /><br />But very rarely would 1959 'Quick Draw' cues be heard in new Season 2 or 3 of the Huck trilogy. As Steve C has mentioned, the Season 3 Huck short "Nuts About Mutts" used a sad cue common to the Augie shorts; likewise Season 3 Meece short "Wise Quackers" another Augie cue. One of the last Huck shorts, "Lawman Huck" ended with a quick snatch from "Comedy Walker". But that's all I can think of.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-28655163416866865182011-04-10T11:14:48.090-07:002011-04-10T11:14:48.090-07:00Drawings No. 5-7 on Patterson's 'blink'...Drawings No. 5-7 on Patterson's 'blink' take by the Ranger have a very 1950-ish Lantz look to his face, while the facial design of the alien in the bear suit look like a more precise version of the "Astronut" character Terrytoons was drawing up at roughly the same time this cartoon came out for the new Deputy Dawg series (maybe future H-B employees Larz Bourne and Dave Tendlar were watching the Huckleberry Hound show on WPIX in February 1960 when they came up with the long-nose look for their guest star in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vGxRGTAPCg" rel="nofollow">"The Space Varmint"</a>).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-24122067093696329962011-04-10T08:30:26.550-07:002011-04-10T08:30:26.550-07:00Hoard, good observation..and not surprising that t...Hoard, good observation..and not surprising that the line "I didn't know you cared"[changed a bit] would be used...after all, who wrote this cartoon ?

You'd expect the Ranger to collapse to the ground in a childlike tantum, run screaming into the woods, or flip out and go bouncing into the woods emitting gutteral sounds.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-45276937595018075312011-04-10T05:36:28.465-07:002011-04-10T05:36:28.465-07:00for some reason, don messick's alien voice alw...for some reason, don messick's alien voice always reminded me of george jessel.david simmonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-88157646830298471322011-04-09T19:43:49.623-07:002011-04-09T19:43:49.623-07:00Zartok, I thought Clinton at first but the aliens ...Zartok, I thought Clinton at first but the aliens don't strike me as Clinton-esque.

But what they did was take the visuals from Boomerang, with all ugly logos intact, and use the same music and sfx track, but add an Italian dialogue track over top. They did that for all the 1959-60 Yogis (except the Yowp cartoon, which they didn't dub at all). I don't know why a bug-filled copy would exist in that state, one that allows the removal of one of the audio tracks. I can understand an edited (ie. credit-less) version in the studio's hands for foreign distribution. But one with a huge "TVG" already slapped on it that was obviously done long after the cartoon was originally made? I don't get it.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-58028819533844243542011-04-09T09:57:12.415-07:002011-04-09T09:57:12.415-07:00ANd of coruse, "FIREMAN" (title incomple...ANd of coruse, "FIREMAN" (title incomplete) from Quick Draw, Augie, and Snooper closes out the cartoon!!<br /><br />(In addition to the music choices mentioned).<br /><br />This really seemed to be about the ranger and the alien for the most part--I kept forgetting how much Yogi and Boo Boo were in this..<br /><br />In regard to W.Foster writing "Disguise" shorts, in a variation, in the 1960 Huckleberry Hound short, "Nutts over Mutts", we get that snickering dog, not disguised, but acting like he's crippled so as to get Huck's symphathy for laughs.<br /><br />And yes, "Ten Little Flintstones" is what I think of regarding "Space Bear", though it was remade as one of those rather blah late 1980s TV feature films that Hanna-Barbera put out.(Meedless to say, the preferred version of Yogi vs an alien "bruin" is right here on this blog..)SJChttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001249396142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-79769613513460782872011-04-09T09:34:21.344-07:002011-04-09T09:34:21.344-07:00Sadly, my only copy of this is from " Cartoon...Sadly, my only copy of this is from " Cartoon Network ", circa 1995, during one of their Saturday afternoon " Super Chunks ". So, needless to say, the little " super chunk " kid's face is at the bottom right hand corner. Also, no credits. Just the Yogi theme and title card. That being said, My favorite part is when Ranger Smith is on the phone talking to the guys who just had their car destroyed by the alien bear. " Oh yes, we ALWAYS check out car disintegrations". Don Messick spoken those lines so sarcastically. Love it.Errolnoreply@blogger.com
