Snooper and Blabber (1959)
Snooper and Blabber is one of the sequences from The Quick Draw McGraw Show. Snooper and Blabber form a pair of cat and mouse detectives. Daws Butler voiced both characters although the first four episodes feature a different actor as Blabber. It has been established that, either Jerry Hausner or Elliot Field originally voiced Blabber Mouse. Michael Maltese crafted the stories. The characters have appeared in other Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including Scooby’s All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and Yogi’s Treasure Hunt. Super Snooper is more or less the one in command whenever the pair takes on a case while Blabber Mouse follows whatever orders Snooper gives him. Snooper’s voice was patterned after Ed Gardner’s Archie on the 1940s radio show Duffy’s Tavern. Blabber speaks with a lisp, hence he calls his senior partner “Shnooper.” It was one of the rare shows that paired a cat and mouse together that were in no way enemies. Also Snooper makes frequent contact with his agent Hazel who is never shown, but is revealed to have a Parakeet as a pet.
