Pepe Legal Cartoon
In some cases, Quick Draw would also take on the identity of Spanish masked vigilante El Kabong (a parody of Zorro). His introduction was: “Of all the heroes of legends and songs, there is none as brave as El Kabong.” As El Kabong, Quick Draw attacked his enemies by falling on a rope with the battle cry “OLÉ!” and hitting them in the head with an acoustic guitar (after shouting “KABOOOOOONG!”), which is still called “Kabonger”, creating a distinctive kabong sound and usually destroying the guitar in the process. The “guitar” was usually drawn as a four-row cuatro. On the cartoon`s soundtrack, the “kabong” sound effect was created by a foley artist hitting the open strings out of tune with a cheap acoustic guitar. Comedian Kenny Moore has been nicknamed “El Kabong” on some websites because of his infamous attack on a heckler with the guitar he was playing as part of his performance. [17] Quick Draw McGraw is a fictional anthropomorphic horse and the protagonist and main character of The Quick Draw McGraw Show. It is a white horse wearing a red Stetson cowboy hat, a red case belt, a light blue bandana and sometimes spurs.[11] He was voiced by Daws Butler. Its 45 cartoons, originally broadcast between 1959 and 1961, were written by Michael Maltese, best known for his work at Warner Bros. Cartoon Studio.
The cartoon was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1960. One of Quick Draw`s main enemies was his evil double horseman Harry, who was a dangerous outlaw and often got into trouble with Quick Draw.[13] In some cases, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of masked vigilante El Kabong (a parody of Zorro). Quick Draw McGraw is an anthropomorphic cowboy horse from Hanna-Barbera and the main character of The Quick Draw McGraw Show. He was originally voiced by Daw`s butler. He is a well-meaning but somewhat dark sheriff of a Wild West town not specified in his own shorts. Quick Draw is a white horse with black hair, a fishing muzzle and gray hooves. His main garment is a red Stetson cowboy hat, a blue bandana and a red weapon belt with holster. From time to time, he also wore spurs.
Another Quick Draw character was Snuffles, the bloodhound who pointed his mouth when he wanted a dog cookie, then hugged, jumped in the air, and came back down after eating one. In several cases where Quick Draw didn`t have a dog cookie to offer, or when he tried to give Snuffles the reward money for catching an outlaw, Snuffles would shake his head and say “Uh-uh” or growl to himself and mumble “Damn cheap!” and throw the money in Quick Draw`s face. (Between trapper Rawhide Clyde and his dog mangy Bristletooth, only beef jerky was used instead of dog biscuits.) In his first appearance, “Bow-Wow Bandit”, he tried to find Quick Draw`s assistant, Baba Looey, who was kidnapped by a bandit who believes he has a tattoo of a card on his back. When he wasn`t called Snuffles, Quick Draw sometimes called him a dog substitute. (A similar gag was used in the “Crazy Claws” segment of The Kwicky Koala Show. Quick Draw has appeared in 45 shorts in his segment of the show: Quick Draw McGraw is mentioned in Busta Rhymes` songs “So Hardcore” and “Everything Remains Raw”. He is also mentioned in Viktor Vaughn`s MF Doom song “Modern Day Mugging”. Lil Wayne references Quick Draw McGraw in his songs “Fireman” and “What`s Wrong With Them?” Quick Draw McGraw is also mentioned in the House of Pain song “Boom Shalock Lock Boom (Butch Vig Mix)”. The song appeared on the EP Shamrocks and Shenanigans. The game “One Blood (Remix)” refers to Quick Draw McGraw. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro, Baba Looey (also voiced by Butler), who spoke with a Mexican accent. Quick Draw was usually portrayed as a sheriff in a series of short films set in the Wild West.
Quick Draw was often accompanied by his assistant, a Mexican burro named Baba Looey (also voiced by Daws Butler), who spoke English with a Mexican accent and called his partner “Queeks Draw”. [14] In the Spanish-American version, Quick Draw (Tiro Loco McGraw) speaks with a very English-influenced accent, and Baba Looey (Pepe Trueno or Pepe Luis in some episodes) speaks with a very Mexican accent, so it was clear that Quick Draw was the alien, and there was no need to adjust any feature of the story. In the Brazilian version, Quick Draw speaks in a Portuguese drawing that, with his Hispanicized name (Pepe Legal), suggests that he was either a Texan-American or Mexican cowboy. To Jellystone! Quick Draw was fully incorporated into the character of El Kabong, who is now a Latino vigilante. He also worked as a teacher and not as a sheriff.[1] [2]. Quick Draw was himself a caricature of a horse who walked like a human on two legs (like Baba Looey) and had “hands” that were hooves with thumbs and could hold objects like weapons. That didn`t stop the show`s producers from seeing him ride a realistic horse in town or, as seen in the show`s opening credits, driving a stagecoach pulled by a whole team of realistic horses. This aspect was highlighted in the 1980s in the TV movie The Good, the Bad and Huckleberry Hound with Quick Draw. Another character was Snuffles, the bloodhound who pointed his mouth and “ah-ah-ah-” when he wanted a cookie, then hugged, jumped in the air and came back down after eating one.
[15] As El Kabong, Quick Draw wears all-black gear similar to Zorro: a black straight hat and matching cape tied in ribbons, and wields a guitar where he serves as the main weapon to break the heads of his enemies. Quick Draw satirized westerns that were popular with American audiences at the time. His character was well-intentioned, but a bit dark. His main slogans were “Now wait!” and “I`m going to do the Thin`in` here and don`t forget it!” Even when he was injured, he would often say, “Ooooh that`s smart!” One of the most important gags in the shorts was that he had accidentally shot himself with his own six.
