Favorite "Unsung" looney Tunes character

[Brandon Pierce]

I don't know if this has been done before, but who is your favorite unsung Looney Tunes character? That is to say, a character that never really was a star, more of a bit player, but tstill appeared in a few cartoons?

My favorite's Egghead.

I don't think a poll like this has been done, but I'm moving it to the Boomerang & Other Classic Cartoons forum where I think it'll be best suited.

[Dr.Pepper]

I said Gabby because I think that I liked him when I was younger or Hippity Hopper just because he's a kangaroo.

[Toony Loon]

I think the Three Bears, because the cartoons are so well animated, and well-written, even without the voice talent of Mel Blanc.

Some of the scenes in the Three Bears cartooons are priceless. The ketchup gag in Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears is hilarious, and the pipe sequence in A Bear for Punishment I never get tired of. I always love when Pa hits Junyer with something. Of course, I don't like child abuse, but it looks funny. ;)

Claude! I wish he and the Hubie and Bertie were in more eps.

I picked Jr. with his little paper bag.:anime:

[greg!]

I vote for Gossamer the monster

[Napoleon Solo]

Pete Puma, hands down. I remember they had a shirt with him at the old Warner Bros. store in a mall near me and was upset they did not have mu size. :)

[Steve Carras]

I don't vote for neccesarily anyone on there but will pick
----Chuck's Dover Boys--Tom, Dick, and Larry,an early example (narrated by
John McLeish of Disney Goofy shorts fame) of UPA style animation and the film that broke Chuck Jones into funny animation. WIth designs by John McGrew (no relation to Dangerous Dan) and Berynce Polynfa(sp?)

---Art Davis's Hick,Slick,& Chick Mouse, with Freberg and (during a intoxication scene) Blanc, Blanc, and Bea Benadaret respectively as
the trio in an odd Popeye story.

----That cat-as-rat in McKimson's "Paying the Piper". "One side, one side. Letta RAT through".

----McKimson's cat and dog ("Not the roll out the barrell"....."Not the Rainpipe"..)("It's Hummertime" with the rainpipe gag and "Early to Bet"
with the barrellgags..many variations on those.)

-----Jones'sThree Bears,for reasons mentioned by the others.

------McKImson's Dodsworth the cat(Sheldon Leonard.) "Hey boy,ya wanna loin'bout mousin'?(New Yorkese for: "Ya wanna catch rodents" or.."ya wanna be a sucker for my latest attempt tokeep my happy home?" said to a cross eyed kitten.)

------McKimson's Rapid Rabbit and Quick Brown Fox from the 1969 short Rabbit Stew and Rabbits too. Along with Linus the Lionhearted and a few TV cartoons this had some of the most oddest limited animation design of mainstream funny cartoon animals outside HB or Jay Ward.


--------Freleng's 1949 mouse in "Mouse Mazurka". A HB Super Snooper and Blabber short reprised that explosive "detente" toblow oneself up bit (only the big bit is in the WB short-----"the mouse first PRETENDS to drink that vial of nitro,then accidentally in his skit tips it up to HIGHER ground..shall we say, then gets a REALLY liquid explosive filled vialand proceeds to drink it, Sylvester doesn't know one way or the other,except all HE knows is here's this little mouse with the vial of explosive.but is it..?" And like Art Davis's 1947 "Foxy Duckling" it has the same surprise ending which I will NOT give away..)

Most of the 40s-50s Cats and mice such as Heathcliff (Dough Ray Meow), Claude, and even Sniffles.

I voted for Hippity Hopper. Never starred in his own feature, IIRC. Only a foil for Sylvester Sr. & Jr., but deserved at least one solo feature.
