Snagglepuss is a classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon character created in the late 1950s. He is an anthropomorphic pink mountain lion with a flamboyant personality, known for his distinctive Southern drawl and catchphrases. Snagglepuss is characterized as a thespian, and many of his adventures revolve around his career in the theater. He often finds himself in humorous and dramatic situations, which he approaches with wit and charm.
One of his most famous catchphrases is “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” (sometimes spelled as “Heavens to Betsy!”), which he would exclaim when surprised or in a tight spot. Another iconic phrase is “Exit, stage left!” when he decides to make a quick getaway.
Snagglepuss first appeared in “The Quick Draw McGraw Show” in 1959, in a segment called “Snagglepuss.” He later starred in his own self-titled cartoon series, “The Snagglepuss Chronicles,” and made appearances in various other Hanna-Barbera productions.
