You know the ones; very neat and polite, and they talk with snobbish accents and are always trying to out-do the other in being kind to one another.
Were they life partners?
Just where were they “storing those nuts for the winter?”

:eek: Now that you mention it, yes!
Weren’t those gophers? I seem to recall them being underground a lot… I always figured they were a couple. No other interpretation seemed to make sense.
Just so everyone knows, their names are Chip and Dale. I don’t know if they’re gay, but it seems kind of difficult to be any kind of sexual orientation since they have no genitalia.
Chip and Dale was Disney, not Loony Toons
:eek: Now that you mention it, yes! (yes, I said that to the OP as well. Hey, it works for both questions.)
They were gophers. They were always stealing veggies from the garden, thru the roof of their tunnel. I always thought they were very close twins or something, but now I know the horrible truth
[bad joke] I wonder if they ever had to be removed from each other’s ass? [/joke]
I don’t think the OP is talking about chip and dale. I think it is referring to a lesser known rodent cartoon. BTW Chip and Dale were not nice to eachother, they were allways fighting over acorns and lived in trees, not underground.
Their names were Mac and Tosh. http://members.tripod.com/~Nymh/info.htm has more information.
Huh. lee beat me to it. Note that the website refers to their demeanor as “effeminate”.
BTW, Chip and Dale also fought at least once over a girl (well, a female chipmunk anyway).
Mac and tosh eh? suppose thats where macintosh got their name? i might just look into this…

Actually Balance she isn’t a chipmunk she’s a mouse and her name is Gadget… she fixes that plane thingy made from the toothpaste tube and other stuff…

Closet “Rescue Rangers” fan here. Also liked Dark Wing Duck.
Let’s get dangerous.
I assumed they were brothers…kinda like Frasier and Niles…???

ROFLMAO!!!
My daughter, too. Thanks for giving us the biggest laugh we’ve had in a long time.
All us rodents like to “bury nuts in the backyard.” Just keep that in mind next time you see one of us. And remember, be kind.
HUGS!

I wasn’t talking about Gadget; I was referring to a much older cartoon. (I first saw it maybe 17 years ago.) They were fighting over a chipmunk torch-singer, I think. I seem to remember them wearing tuxes and playing the piano for her.
I don’t think Balance was referring to Gadget (Am I the only one who had a crush on her when they were little?).
There was at least one Chip & Dale short where they got REALLY competitive over a Chipmunk lounge singer.
…the big question is…
can a gopher or even a chipmunk find a way to stuff a gerbil up their rears?
this i don’t really need to see, just thought provoking. the mental image is enough. i’m running some super GUI in my skull and the images being concocted are enough to spit the soda i’m drinking out my nostrils.

THE GOOFY GOPHERS
Originally created by Bob Clampett, Arthur Davis directed the first cartoon The Goofy Gophers, released in 1947. Clampett had finished recording the soundtrack, but animation had not been completed when he left the Studio in 1945. The characters were based on the superpolite Edward Everett Horton and Franklin Pangborn, including their rather prissy mannerisms, as well as Alphonse and Gaston, two early comic strip characters created by F.P. Opper who were also super-polite. Mel Blanc and Stan Freberg did the voices for the gophers. The gophers are also known as Mac ‘n’ Tosh, in a spoof of the Disney characters Chip ‘n’ Dale, but the name was not used in the classic era cartoons.
