'''Snagglepuss''' is a fictional cartoon character who debuted in [[prototype]] form on ''[[The Quick Draw McGraw Show]]'' in 1959 and was established as a studio regular by 1961.<ref name="Markstein">{{cite web |url=http://www.toonopedia.com/snaggle.htm |title=Snagglepuss |first=Donald D.|last=Markstein|publisher=[[Don Markstein's Toonopedia]]|archive-date=May 28, 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240528044635/https://www.webcitation.org/6r9YGF9At?url=http://toonopedia.com/snaggle.htm |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="cartoon-scrapbook">{{cite web |url=http://www.cartoonscrapbook.com/S/snagglepuss1961.htm |website=Cartoon Scrapbook |title=Snagglepuss |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708065117/http://www.cartoonscrapbook.com/S/snagglepuss1961.htm |archive-date=2012-07-08}}</ref> A light pink [[anthropomorphic]] [[Puma (species)|puma]] sporting an [[upturned collar]], shirt [[cuff]]s, and [[bow tie]], Snagglepuss enjoys the finer things in life and shows a particular affinity for the [[theatre]]. His stories routinely break the [[fourth wall]] as the character addresses the audience in self-[[narrator|narration]], [[soliloquy]], and [[asides]]. As originally voiced by [[Daws Butler]],<ref name="Murgatroyd" /> Snagglepuss seeks quasi-[[William Shakespeare|Shakespearean]] turns of phrase. Some of his [[camp (style)|campy]] verbal mannerisms became [[catchphrase]]s: "Heavens to [[Murgatroyd]]!", "Exit, [[Blocking (stage)#Stage directions|stage left]]!", and using emphatic "even" at the end of sentences.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sennett |first1=Ted |title=The Art of Hanna-Barbera: Fifty Years of Creativity |date=1989 |publisher=Studio |isbn=978-0670829781 |url=https://archive.org/details/artofhannabarber00teds/page/62/mode/2up |access-date=2 June 2020 |pages=63–64}}</ref>
