We had a hard time deciding which cartoon character to use for our annual Happy New Year's greeting, so after much reflection, we chose the Hanna Barbera 'toon character from the sixties, Quick Draw McGraw, who was perhaps influenced by the B-movie Westerns of the forties which starred the likes of Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy.
McGraw was voiced by the late, great Daws Butler, and some of his cartoons may appear on Bommerang! (which we can not completely verify).
'Course, there is always Youtube.........just make sure you don't click on a cartoon in Portuguese as I once did when viewing a Woody Woodpecker cartoon!
Oh, and in case you were wondering his side kick is named Baba Looey!

This reference involving Quick Draw and Baba Looey was drawn by Craig Kellman, and it was inspired on a cover from the Quick Draw Mc Graw comic book published by Dell/Gold Key in the 60s (the cover was drawn by Harvey Eisenberg).
The original cover is located on the following link: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/nufiveoh/QuickDrawMcGraw3.jpg.
