76 Deputy Dawg

First  watched : 1972

Deputy   Dawg   was  an  old  five  minute  cartoon  series   brought  out  of  retirement  - it  hadn't  been  shown  since  1968  at  least  - to  plug  a  gap  on  Friday  afternoons  in  January  1972. It  concerned  a  favourite  Hollywood  stereotype, the  pompous  but  slow-witted  Southern  backwoods  lawman, now  in  the  shape  of  a  portly  dog. The  series  though  was  generally  affectionate  towards  the  South  with  Dawg  allowed  his  fair  share  of  triumphs  against  his  mischievous  foes  Muskie  Muskrat  and  Vincent  van  Gopher  and  they  would  often  end  up  fishing  together.

I  can't  remember  too  much  more  about  it.
