Deputy Dawg
Deputy Dawg was a below average southern lawman (he worked in
Mississippi), more concerned with
napping than with catching bad guys.
The lazy deputy was regularly
reprimanded by his human boss, the Sheriff, while his friends
Muskie the Muskrat, Ty Coon, and Vincent Van Gopher looked on in
amusement.
It wasn't long, however, before the Deputy would revert to his
slothful ways and fall fast asleep.
Deputy Dawg was so popular in the 60s that, in 1963, movie
theatres were insisting that Terrytoons create episodes of the
cartoon for the big screen.
Impressionist Dayton Allen provided most of the characters
distinct and amusing
voices. Allen would often give the characters the voices of
well-known celebrities, adding a layer of hip reality to the
cartoon.
