The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, now with 20% more ongoing.

Thanks, OUB. Now how about this one, that's totally gone untapped?:

1. I'm there along with the guy who played Tarzan when a certain duck tried to sneak inside a studio.

2. I'm also mentioned by a rabbit from the same studio.

3. Thirty-five years ago at this time, my eyes were immortalized in a classic song everyone knows.

Can't believe those first three clues were so difficult. Unfortunately, I can only post three more:

4. I'm not voiced by the real life actress.

5. I'm not the only movie star to be animated by the studio.

6. One of my greatest screen roles was a mentor of an up and comer who eventually upstaged me.

This is screen legend Bette Davis, one actress that put Warner Brothers Studios on the map before the Screen Actors' Guild turned them all into free agents. Bugs Bunny gives an aside to the audience, "Bette Davis is going to hate me for this," in one of his cartoons. Kim Carnes covered the song "Bette Davis Eyes" in 1981, though songwriter Jackie DeShannon first recorded it in 1974. One of her most memorable roles is that of "Baby" Jane Hudson in the 1962 psychodrama Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

Pardon me for taking so long, but I'm trying not to hog all the opportunities.

It's ok. All that matters is that you got the character right. The short I had in mind was "Hollywood Daffy." Good job.

Nice. Oh, how'd we miss him? Fixing time.

1) This character appears regularly in an animated television cartoon no longer in production.

2) This character is one of two recurring adversaries to the Good Guy of the series. Apparently, one wreaks criminal mischief while the other worms his way out of Cardboard Prison.

3) Although most of the characters in this cartoon series are human, this character in particular is not. He speaks English, engineers crimes and dresses nicely, but he's not human.

Can't even begin to figure this one out.

Intermediate clues time:

4) This character is modeled after Roaring Twenties gangsters during the Prohibition era, who liked to flaunt their wealth and status with pinstripe suits and boutonnieres.

5) Here's another instance where the character's name pretty much locks him into his profession, in this case, as a criminal ne'er-do-well.

6) This character "made some ink," id est, his likeness appears in an in-universe newspaper.

And cupcake clues time:

7) "When in this world, the headlines read

8) "Of those whose hearts are filled with greed,

9) "Who rob and steal from those in need;"

I claim this cupcake. It's Riff Raff.

Yes it is, this is Riff Raff, a mobster mastermind who's one of Underdog's principal nemeses, the other being Simon Bar Sinister. Good job, Em.

Thanks, OUB. Now for another untapped one:

1. I'm a headliner who works closely with my younger siblings following a family tragedy.

2. Even though I'm no superhero, I live dangerously on and off the road.

3. My sibs and I have the same last name as a boy who plays a monstrous dice game.

Guess more clues are required after all:

4. I'm modeled after a real life professional cyclist.

5. Among the people I meet in my travels are a teenage runaway, a self-centered rock star, and even an old friend of my dad's.

6. My series very possibly inspired a later live action show with five orphaned siblings instead of three.

Ok, if these last three clues don't clinch it, I give up.

7. My series came on right after an animated series about seven stranded castaways., and just before a live action one about a prehistoric family.

8. My voice actor previously played one of three who travelled about in a talking race car.

9. A few days from now, my show will finally be on DVD.

Jinkies, if this is a cartoon series I watched as a grade-school squibbie, I'm not recognizing it.
1) "headliner" as in Josie And The Pussycats or Mike, Lu and Og. But with orphans.
2) "on and off the road" as in license to drive, perhaps? So he's the oldest and technically, the most responsible. So, Nani Pelekai, but with two younger sisters, not one.
3) The dangerous dice game must be Dungeons And Dragons from 1983, which is infamous for its d20 die of doom. "Roll for initiative."

4) "real life cyclist" throws out Champion and his aerodynamic nose. The disgraced Lance Armstrong? Has to be; all other European cyclists are easily mistaken for soccer stars here in Eagleland.
5) So, these orphans Wander The Earth, encountering peculiar weirdos with problems, and probably stop to help. Which may or may not help themselves as a matter of course.
6) A cartoon series with three orphans inspires a live action series with five orphans. Who turns all these orphans loose? Did they bulldoze the orphanage and turn their charges out into the street? Did nobody check when the parents died if any offspring were left behind?

7) That would be Filmation's Gilligan's Island on lead-in, and It's About Time on follow-up. Pardon me, but I'm not very TV Guide-y.
8) The talking race car must be Speed Buggy, so that makes it Mark / Debbie / Tinker. Tink's VA didn't do much before or after, Debbie is a girl, so that leaves Mark's Michael Bell. Oooh, good luck picking through that haystack filmography.
9) TVShowsOnDVD.com? Okay, here goes...

Aha, coming Tuesday 24 May is Hanna-Barbera's Devlin series. Michael Bell as the title stunt cyclist Ernie Devlin, modeled after Robert "Evel" Knievel. I remembered bratty half-pint Sandy, but forgot about mechanic Tod. Just out of curiosity, which live series did this inspire?

Hmmm. I thought "Ernie Devlin" was OUB's answer since he underlined the name in the last paragraph.

Or am I missing something?

No, I'm the one who was missing something. I was so wrapped up in my work, that I didn't read the whole post.

Sorry about the previous post, OUB. You got it right, so it's your turn now. Good job. .

And as I mentioned in my Devlin thread in the HB forum, it may have inspired
"Party Of Five."

"Party of Five," eh? Never heard of it. Must have been back in the days of Free Range Children. Now to find an untapped character. Euw, okay, this guy will do.

1) This character is the recurring villain in an animated sub-series that's no longer in production. By "sub-series," I mean it was a six minute cartoon that filled a gap in the headline cartoon series.

2) The Hero of the series and this dastardly villain routinely meet in a showdown, though they've never actually come to blows.

3) Playing fair time: this villain is human. He's nasty and mean and loathsome, a very poor example of human, but ... there he is. And playing even fairer: Hanna-Barbera had nothing to do with this cartoon series.

Can't think of any shows from other studios that had six minute cartoons.

Aha! I'll bet this is the one. Baron Otto Matic, from "Tom Slick."
