[The fate of the free world might rest within YOUR terminal!] Two friends and I were discussing old cartoons on tv, and found that we could remember a cartoon show quite clearly but can't remember the title any more clearly than "<???> Cat and Minute Mouse". The show's premise was a hero cat with a mouse sidekick. Their car had a cat-shaped grille, long sweeping fenders, and was shown driving in/out of a tunnel with a great cloud of dust behind then. (The CatMobile?) The cat always had a special purpose gun he used to catch his enemy, e.g. a lasso gun, a net (not USENET) gun, a magnet gun... Their archenemy was "The Frog", who sounded much like Edward G. Robinson. The Frog always had a big cigar in his mouth. The show is at least twenty years old, we think. If YOU know the name of the mystery show, send your answer to thiel@ut-ngp. DON'T post to the net!!!! I'll post the definitive answer when I get it. The author of the winning answer will get a FREE bit bucket filled with prop wash. Thank you for your attention and assistance. Yours for an uncluttered net, -- Steve Thiel ...ihnp4!ut-ngp!thiel "Jane! Jane, stop this crazy thing!!!!"

Thanks to the several people who supplied an answer to my Cartoon Question. The consensus (with NO dissent--a USENET first?) is that we were thinking of Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse It's gratifying to get such a quick response. Thanks again, -- Steve Thiel ...ihnp4!ut-ngp!thiel "Whenever he gets in a fix, he reaches into his..." (Oops, wrong cat!)
