Huckleberry Hound
was the featured segment on The Huckleberry Hound Show, the
show that put the now-legendary team of William Hanna and
Joseph Barbera on the map. A blue dog with a Southern drawl,
Huckleberry was marvelously deadpan as he wandered through his
cartoon world making witty observations. Portrayed in a
different occupation every episode (mailman, policeman,
lumberjack, farmer, sheriff, etc.), the easygoing hound would
overcome whatever challenge he faced by episode's end. Sharing
screen time with the extroverted
Yogi Bear, Huckleberry was
more straight man than show stealer, but he has still managed
to build up loyal fans throughout the decades.
After Yogi left for his own self-titled show, a new
character named Hokey Wolf was added to the lineup. Hokey's
main joy in life was to coax free meals out of the clueless,
which he seemed to do with ease.
A battle of wits was also the focus of another segment,
Pixie and Dixie, which showcased the ongoing struggle of two
mice trying to outmaneuver Mr. Jinks the cat, who,
incidentally, hated "meeces to pieces." Jinks, however, proved
to be so loveable that he often won a few rounds against the
mischievous "meeces."
In 1960, Huckleberry Hound became the first TV cartoon
series to win an Emmy Award. New episodes were produced for
only a few more seasons, but the popular pooch kept turning up
on Hanna-Barbera's "team" cartoons for decades to come.
