OK, in the even older Hannah-Barbara cartoon series “Ruff and Reddy”, what kind of animal was Reddy? (one of the characters was a dog).

not unless they moved it from Manhattan! ‘Bout 120th and Riverside.

Ruff and Reddy was the first cartoon series created for television (1957). It would be the start of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon empire.
Ruff was a cat, Reddy a dog.

Isn’t your sig line quote from the Warner Bros./Looney Toons short which featured “Ralph” the bored, fantasizing elementary school pupil?
My favorite part was when he fought the numbers on the blackboard.

My question: Who were Freddy, Phineas and Franklin?
And I believe she first tells it to Glinda.
Okay, I’ve read through all 83 responses to this thread, and no one seems to know that Charlie Brown’s dad was a barber. (Just like Charles Schulz’ dad.
Fat Freddy, Phineas T., and Freewheelin’ Franklin were, of course, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.
Now, what was the name of Fat Freddy’s Cat?
(Frankd6, you can’t answer this.)

Cowboy Greg answered that on the first page of this post.
What was the black character’s name in Peanuts?
What Peanuts character was named after a number?
(Yeah, I know, I asked these a couple of months ago in a Peanuts Trivia thread)

Frankd6 is correct, and my sig line’s reference to the Ralph Phillips cartoons is all the more obscure due to the scene you related - they sure won’t show him stabbing and shooting chalk numbers to us in post-Columbine America!
NickyLason - I thought it was “Fat Freddy’s Cat,” as in “The Adventures of:” Also, Cowboy Greg beat me to it on the last page - but we did know that Charlie Brown’s dad was a barber. But, back to underground comix - can you tell me what city Mr. Snoid came from?
Your deep sea diving suit is ready, me brave lad.
Enright3: Sorry, I missed Cowboy Greg’s reply.
The black kid in Peanuts was Franklin.
As for the numbered character, Uh…Seven of Nine?
“If I pinch my nose with my fingers, close my mouth tight,
and blow real hard, I can make my ears bleed. It’s
not as cool as Superman’s X-ray vision, but it’s my own
special talent.”
Actuall, Nicky, that would be 5.

Slithy Tove:
Yes, I gave the answer to the question in the question, Fat Freddy’s cat is named Fat Freddy’s Cat.
I’m afraid I don’t even know who Mr. Snoid is, much less where he’s from, sorry.
And where did you get your name from?
“If I pinch my nose with my fingers, close my mouth tight,
and blow real hard, I can make my ears bleed. It’s
not as cool as Superman’s X-ray vision, but it’s my own
special talent.”
Nicky: I hope you don’t mean to say that the Freak Brothers are as far underground you go, comixwise. Mr Snoid was the creation of R. Crumb. Snoid comes from Sheyboygan, Wisconsin, which, in real life is a small city in the shore of lake Michigan held in the facist fief of the Kohler bathroom appliance company.
Ralph Phillips was a character in two cartoons by Chuck Jones when he was in charge of Warner Bros. animation. Although, like many, I prefer the Tex Avery era (no, I’m not a geek about this like the comic-book guy on the Simpsons), Chuck Jones did do some of the best looney tunes aimed at adults - like the minature elephant, or the martian baby mix-up. Jones and my grandfather had a passing friendship from art school, so in defence of his less-sophsticated output I’d have to point out that it was geared for 1960’s Saturday-moring kiddies rather than 1940’s adults in theaters waiting for the main feature.

What??? You had me firing up the IMDB for that!! Alright then… Orson Welles. Which is obvisously wrong… do you mean “played” as in “seduced, conned”?

What was the name of the garage in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off?
I mis-wasted my youth.
Gilligan’s first name was never mentioned, but it was in the character description in case they ever needed to use his full name. Same with Columbo’s first name: Phillip. Never used, but chosen just in case. For a while, it seemed like Kramer would fall into that category. Wonder where they came up with Cosmo?
Dorothy tells her full name to Glinda when she first meets her.

His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,

OK, then, you should know. From where in ST lore does my signature line come?
Wrong thinking is punished, right thinking is just as swiftly rewarded. You’ll find it an effective combination.
Coldfire: Sorry, didn’t mean to prolong this one. Of course it’s a trick question, but there is a legitimate answer: Orson Welles played Charles Foster Kane Jr.; Charles Foster Kane, his father, was played by Harry Shannon.
Rilchiam: This is what Schwartz says re. ‘Willy’ but as far as I’m aware, nobody’s ever seen this original character description. Sounds like revisionist history to me.
AWB: The quote sounds like something from “The Cage,” but I’m really not sure. Not as big a geek as I feared! Um, unless, I’m right… [gets ready to crown self king of the No-Lifes]
