The rocks on top of the mesas were something Art Lozzi used in “Mine Your Manners” but I won’t try to identify a background or layout artist here. There are no credits on the versions of cartoon I’ve seen. We’ve posted screen grabs from this cartoon before. And don’t think I didn’t have trouble with that name in school.īat: It’s sundown, McGraw. Quick Draw: You’re Bats-in-the-Befrey, key-rect?īat: No, I’m Bat Belfry. While Quick Draw is in silhouette rocking on a porch, the narrator begins singing “The high-falutin’-est, fastest-shootin’-est, Quick Draw…” then pauses to intone “who was vacationing on his beautiful ranch” then resumes singing “McGraw!”Īs for catchphrases, Quick Draw skips “I’ll do the thinnin’ around here” or “Hold on thar!” He comes up with “Oooo, that smarts” when he’s socked in the nose with a flying newspaper. The Quick Draw McGraw theme song makes an appearance in the middle of the cartoon and it’s already the subject of parody. He may be too old for school but his brain is still in kindergarten.”) (For the record, Baba’s tag line is: “I like that Quickstraw. Why is Quick Draw in school anyway? Who put him there? Why isn’t the newspaper editor there? He was just as inept at spelling the name of his own paper. #QUICKDRAW MCGRAW CARTOON CRACK#That sets up a final scene in a classroom where Quick Draw can’t correctly guess the letter that comes after “A” and “B.” The only reason for the scene is because Maltese decided each Quick Draw cartoon should end with Baba Looey making a crack about Quick Draw’s attributes/failings. The youthful intelligence scares Bat Belfry right out of the cartoon. The newspaper is called The Daily Blunder but through the cartoon, nobody can spell the word “Daily.” Finally a kid (who looks like a little man) fixes the name on the newspaper office window. Maltese uses a running gag to tie the story together. #QUICKDRAW MCGRAW CARTOON TV#Perhaps that noted TV western parodist, Mike Maltese, had that show in mind when he came up with the story for “Extra-Special Extra.” Coincidentally, both “Jefferson Drum” and “Quick Draw McGraw” were distributed by Screen Gems. #QUICKDRAW MCGRAW CARTOON SERIES#In the late ‘50s, there was a TV western called “Jefferson Drum.” The short-lived series was based around the idea of a crusading newspaperman in the Old West. Plot: Quick Draw takes on Bat Belfry, scourge of a crusading newspaper publisher. Louis Merkur.Įpisode: Quick Draw McGraw Show M-035, Production J-112.
