The line is, “What’d I do…wrong?” With a long, weird pause there. I am thinking it might have been Doggy Daddy, but I’m not sure. It’s something I say, in real life, rather often. ---

Snagglepuss also had a trademark speech trait whereby he added pointless emphasis, with the word “even” added. E.g.: “Take the sea lion! A good swimmer! In the _water_ even!” > [@Smapti](#): > > Drat and double-drat! Dick Dastardly. ETA: Beaten to the punch by **Bosda**. ---

“Heavens to Murgatroid” is a phrase I remember even now. I’d long since forgotten it was Snagglepus, or anything about Snagglepus. I’m now starting to doubt it was even him. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Snagglepuss. > > “Oh my darling Clementine…” Huckleberry Hound. Jimmy Durante had a radio show. Garry Moore, a young clean-cut brainy type, was his sidekick. Moore would often say something academic or intellectual sounding, and Durante would reply “Dat’s my boy that said that! And I wish I knew what it meant!” ---
