King Leonardo and His Short Subjects, debuting on NBC on October 3, 1960, was the second made-for-Saturday-morning network cartoon show (Hanna-Barbera's The Ruff & Reddy Show was the first). It was the initial production of Leonardo Productions-Total Television.King Leonardo was the leonine ruler of the kingdom Bongo Congo, whose main industry was making bongo drums. Leonardo was benevolent but prone to temper flares once in awhile. His prime minister, Odie Cologne (a skunk), produces the kingdom's second major product, perfume. Gangster rodent Biggy Rat and the king's twin brother, Itchy, seek to usurp Leonardo and place Itchy on the throne, making Bongo Congo's coffers readily available to Biggy. But Odie comes in and throws a monkey wrench into their plans.Two episodes making up a story arc of Leonardo bookend the show. In between is either The Hunter, a clueless canine gumshoe, or Tooter Turtle, a naive terrapin who seeks Mr. Wizard the lizard in granting his wish to be somebody important (only he gets himself in hot water toward the conclusion and has Mr. Wizard bring him home).The first season was animated by TV Spots; ensuing seasons were made by Gamma Animation in Mexico City. After three seasons on NBC, the show was made available for syndication in 15- or 30-minute installments under the new title The King and Odie. Selected episodes of all features ran concurrently on The Underdog Show and Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales. Elements also became part of Dudley Do-Right and Friends in syndication. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
King Leonardo and His Short Subjects / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: The Fox loves this trope as part of his many crimes. In most cases, he manages to fool everyone else, even the Hunter on occasion! It's played with in "The Case of the Hunted Hunter." After a successful crime spree while impersonating the Hunter using a Full-Body Disguise, Horace sets up a plan to catch and expose the Fox by posting a fake newspaper article that Horace and the Hunter are guarding a huge supply of diamonds from a jewelry store. The Fox dons one of his usual paper-thin disguises, posing as the owner of the jewelry store, but Horace, recognizing him, says that he can only give the diamonds to his uncle the Hunter, to which the Fox dashes out and returns in his Hunter disguise, and Horace reveals that it was all a sting operation to catch him. | |

Art Shift | |
King Leonardo and His Short Subjects / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: Quite jarring between the seemingly slapdash TV Spots and the rigid but more polished Gamma. Odie's fur was black in the TV Spots episodes and gray in the Gamma episodes. | |

Dynamite Candle | |
King Leonardo and His Short Subjects / int_992d42a7 | comment |
Dynamite Candle: In the Hunter segment "Big Birthday Blast," the Fox has stolen a huge supply of dynamite and set up a fake party supply store passing off the dynamite as stuff for birthday parties, including of course, as birthday candles. At the Hunter's actual birthday party, he finds it hard to blow out the "candles," to which his nephew Horace notices the "wicks" are getting shorter, and sure enough they explode. | |

Catchphrase: King Leonardo: "Confound it!" and "That's the most unheard of thing I've ever heard of!" Biggy Rat: "This is Biggy talkin', see?" Itchy: "Okay, Big. I dig." Tooter: "Help me, Mr. Wizard!" Mr. Wizard: "Drizzle, drazzle, drozzle, drome...time for this one to come home!" Also, his Aesop to Tooter at the end of every episode {"Alvays, alvays I tell you, Tooter"): The Hunter: "That's a joke, son!" | |

Non-Fatal Explosions: Played straight in the Hunter segment "Big Birthday Blast," where the Fox has sold some stolen dynamite to Horace for his uncle The Hunter's birthday party (passing them off as cigars, firecracker noisemakers and birthday candles). Fortunately the Hunter and Horace survive each of the explosions and are barely scorched from them. | |
