comment
Snagglepuss is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character created in 1959 and voiced by Daws Butler. He originally appeared in episodes of The Quick Draw McGraw Show and became a regular in The Yogi Bear Show. Snagglepuss lives in a cavern which he tries to make more habitable for himself. No matter what he does, he always winds up back where he started or worse off than before. Snagglepuss is chased in some episodes by the tiny hunter Major Minor (Don Messick).In addition to the cartoons, he also appeared in commercials for Cocoa Krispies, MetLife, and Cartoon Network.Although he is a pink panthernote a mountain lion, which is also called "panther" in some parts of America, do not confuse him with The Pink Panther, whom he predates by four years.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Snagglepuss' voice was based on Bert Lahr, who played the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Driving the similarity further, the "Murgatroyd" catchphrase was spoken by Lahr in the film Meet the People (1944).

Darker and Edgier: When DC Comics began making "reboot" comics for various Hanna-Barbera properties in the mid-2010s, they reinvented ol' Snaggy as a gay Southern Gothic playwright making a stand against the House Un-American Activities Committee. Seriously.

Camp Straight: His flamboyant nature is his most distinctive attribute, and almost universally interpreted as him being gay. Lila was tacked on probably as an attempt to dissuade this, though to no success.

Ring Around the Collar: Like most Hanna-Barbera characters from this time, Snagglepuss wears an accessory around his neck (a shirt collar and string tie in this case) to facilitate animation shortcuts.

comment
Poorly-Disguised Pilot: "Fraidy Cat Lion" is the only Snagglepuss short to feature Mr. and Mrs. J. Evil Scientist, who otherwise appear in Snooper and Blabber shorts. And they take up a good chunk of "Fraidy Cat Lion", just like they do in the other shorts. Ultimately, the Scientists did not receive an animated show of their own, but they did get a comic book series.

 Snagglepuss / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Before he got his own cartoons, he was orange with no collar or cuffs. He also appeared as the brown "Snaggletooth" in an Augie Doggie cartoon, "The Party Lion". Confusion arises because in his first appearance, The Quick Draw McGraw Show episode "Lamb Chopped", he was called Snagglepuss, but referred to an unseen Snaggletooth as his brother. Snaggletooth would later show up in a Snagglepuss cartoon where he is pink like Snagglepuss. So perhaps Augie met the actual Snaggletooth.

All Gays Love Theater
 Snagglepuss / int_8637b8ef
comment
All Gays Love Theater: His later persona presents him as a gay Southern Gothic playwright. Though with his hammy and theatrical personality, "Exit, stage left" (or "right") catchphrase, and Ambiguously Gay depiction, he arguably embodies this trope in the early 1960s shorts as well. Several episodes ("Paws for Applause," "Remember Your Lions," and "Footlight Fright") show Snagglepuss on stage and enjoying himself to varying degrees.

I Warned You: In "Lion Tracks", the Major tries to make Snagglepuss clear out of his cave so a railway can go through, while Snagglepuss constantly tells him there's a reason one can't go through apart from the cave being his home. It's only too late that the Major finds out Snagglepuss was trying to tell him there's no place for tracks beyond his cave.

Character Catchphrase: Three signature ones: Before dashing off, "Exit, stage left!" or “stage right.” He typically appends the adverbial "...even" focus particle to synonyms, or sentences in general. And most famously, "Heavens to Murgatroyd!"
