We All Know Someone That Brags...But Not Like "Commander Mc Bragg" !!!! 1963

Commander McBragg is an animated cartoon series that aired in the 1960s. It features an old timer like character, Commander McBragg, a military officer who tells tall tales of his adventures and exploits.

"Dudley-do-right" Was A Sunday Morning Cartoon Favorite of Mine 1960's

Dudley Do-Right is a Canadian cartoon character created by Jay Ward and Bill Scott. He was first introduced as a segment on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, an animated television series that aired on ABC and later NBC 1960.

The Dudley Do-Right character is a dim-witted but well-intentioned Mountie who always tries to do the right thing, but is constantly thwarted by the villainous Snidely Whiplash. Despite his bumbling efforts, Dudley always manages to save the day and win the heart of his sweetheart, Nell Fenwick. The Dudley Do-Right segments were known for their absurd humor and tongue-in-cheek mockery of traditional heroic figures.

Voice Over Artists

Ever Heard Of A Dagwood Sandwich ? Famous Because of A Cartoon Strip ! "Blondie and Dagwood" 1930's

Hey there! "Blondie and Dagwood" is an American comic strip created by cartoonist Chic Young. The strip has been published in newspapers since 1930 and follows the misadventures of the titular blonde and her sandwich-loving husband.

Chic Young wrote and drew Blondie and Dagwood until his death in 1973, after which creative control passed to his son Dean Young. A number of artists have assisted in drawing the strip over the years, but it has remained popular regardless. You can read "Blondie & Dagwood in more than 2,000 newspapers in 47 countries and it's been translated into 35 languages. From 2006 to 2013, you could also email King Features for new strips.

Cartoon Animation:

In 1980, Blondie and Dagwood made a brief animated appearance on The Fantastic Funnies, a TV special focusing on newspaper comics. They sang a song to host Loni Anderson with other comic strip characters, before appearing in a short sequence where Blondie urges Dagwood to get a haircut. The animation was produced by Bill Melendez Productions. Dagwood also makes a cameo appearance in Garfield Gets Real. In 1987, an animated cartoon TV special featuring the characters was made by Marvel Productions.

I know this blog article was short and sweet but if you need to know more about Blondie and Dagwood in depth, please use my Wiki search bar at the top of my blog. The cartoon animation history part is short lived, that is why I was so brief with this post. I wish that they had made more animated cartoons of "Blondie & Dagwood" but here is one of few...
