Top Cat had the most voice actors for its time...seven (including Allen Jenkins for Officer Dibble) with overlap (Leo DeLyon for both the hilariously misnamed Brain) and hip Spook name, plus Arnold Stang as TC, Maurice Gosfield as Benny, Marvin Kaplan as Choo-Choo, and John Stephenson as Fancy Fancy and sometimes appearing rival Pierre--and Jean Vander Pyl as another recurrant, Goldie. But I love the dialogue and music...Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-20947654369508222622014-12-26T23:48:23.433-08:002014-12-26T23:48:23.433-08:00I can see someone not really getting into Top Cat....I can see someone not really getting into Top Cat. Despite the fantastic music, after having watched the series through a few times, it just isn't as memorable as HB's other prime time series, The Flintstones and The Jetsons. T. C.'s costars just don't seem to be as fleshed out as the Flintstones cast was. Both the Flintstones and the Jetsons (to a lesser degree) created their own world to capture the viewer's imagination, even if the stories themselves were often warmed-over standard sitcom fare. T. C. didn't have the flexibility with its rigid setting and story structure (not to mention having way too many main characters to have to find something for them to do each week. At least Yogi Bear had only three reoccurring characters once they settled in to a formula.).

Just another thing we may never know about the mysterious and convoluted history of Dell and Gold Key Comics! <br /><br />Can’t say if it is Mel Crawford, though it certainly could be. It’s always more difficult to ID an artist’s painted work, than his penciled work. Inside art is by Harvey Eisenberg, Pete Alvarado, and maybe Kay Wright and Tony Strobl. <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-11265337570213262512014-12-25T12:08:17.717-08:002014-12-25T12:08:17.717-08:00My favourite music right there!

Thanks as always for the g...Merry Christmas, Yowp!<br /><br />Thanks as always for the great post. One of my best early gifts with an H-B tie-in was as mentioned above a Kenner Easy Show Projector with several H-B character slides included among the mix. I also remembering, under the Christmas tree, a copy of a Gold Key Giant Special featuring The Flintstones with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm (not the usual comic book cover, but a paper cover using the same kind of paper as the interior--I'm sure you know which one I mean). My brother received the giant Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge in the same format...but he was never much of a reader, so eventually that one got absorbed into my collection as well. Interesting, because while I've always been a lifelong Disney fan, I was even more into The Flintstones than Disney in those early days, and my parents somehow picked up on it.<br /><br />On another Christmas, my brother and I also received punch-out play sets, one featuring The Flintstones and one featuring Atom Ant and his supporting characters. These included fold-out paper mats suitable for coloring, marked to indicate where the various characters and structures were to be placed. The characters didn't stand up too well on it, because the folds were so thick that they didn't smooth out when the paper was laid flat, but it was still fun putting it together and playing with the cutout figures--although Atom Ant was way out of proportion to his size in relation to the other characters!<br /><br />Oh--one more Christmas gift was a set of plastic Flintstones figures with a stone-age circus motif--they plus a few plastic props could be snapped together to make different acrobatic formations. A definite oddity, but I recently recovered it from my mother's attic.<br /><br />Once again, Merry Christmas!scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.com
