We get a couple of Nicholas standards here when Snag arrives. I love the way the sheep on the poster is looking up at Snagglepuss. Meanwhile, at the Fair, Quick Draw and Baba are guarding the sheep. Did Art Lozzi do the backgrounds in this one? The blue glow above the backdrop is a nice effect. It’s four drawings on twos, but Nicholas gets the leap effect by having some of the Snagglepuss cells higher on the background. Off he goes to the Fair in one of Nicholas’ leaping walk cycles. “Snagglepuss, it looks like your sheep has come in at last.” So we know what he has in mind. “Wooly Boy is a cinch for a large than average roast pan, too,” exclaims the lion. We see the newspaper story about a huge sheep appearing at the County Fair. Snag’s talking with the Nicholas-style floppy tongue movements but it was decided to add a slurpy tongue before he says “Here’s some tasty news.” It means there are two sets of tongues on the lion, one inside his mouth and the other around his upper lip, though it happens so fast you won’t see it on the screen. He moves Snag’s head up and down to the vowel changes in the letter ‘u’. Nicholas follows the voice track as Daws Butler lets out a Bert Lahr-like vibrato on the word ‘salubrious’. Snag pops his head out to spy the morning paper in his mail box. We see that at the start when the scene opens outside Snagglepuss’ cave. Instead, he has them talking out of the side of their faces in ‘U’ and oval shapes. And there are no clouds in the sky Clinton’s the only layout guy I can think of who would avoid clouds on occasion.īecause Snag and Quick Draw have enlongated snouts, Nicholas can’t give them the same kind of big, open-mouth expressions like he originally gave Yogi. The characters are made of up different shapes or angles than when Bick Bickenbach did the layouts. They’re different than what you normally see out of Nick because the layouts are done on this cartoon by Walt Clinton.
And we have some stand-out expressions on Snag by George Nicholas. Then we have a raft-nay, even two rafts-of puns, clever dialogue and a great ending by Mike Maltese. First, we have the smart-ass orange Snagglepuss as the bad guy. It’s tough to decide what’s the best part of this cartoon because there are so many great things going on here.
