Editing Snagglepuss (section)

==History==
A pink puma known as "Snaggletooth", featuring the eventual character's general manner and [[Bert Lahr]]–inspired voice but without collar or cuffs, first appeared on television in ''[[The Quick Draw McGraw Show]]'' in 1959.<ref name="Markstein"/><ref name="cartoon-scrapbook"/> The character subsequently appeared in a supporting role in ''[[Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy]]'' and ''[[Snooper and Blabber]]''.<ref name="cartoon-scrapbook"/> Under the revised name of Snagglepuss, the character appeared in his own series of shorts in 1961 as a regular segment on ''[[The Yogi Bear Show]]'', featuring in 32 episodes.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |page=933}}</ref> He later appeared in other Hanna-Barbera shows, including ''[[Yogi's Gang]]'' (1973), as a co-host in ''[[Laff-A-Lympics]]'' (1977–78), ''[[Yogi's Treasure Hunt]]'' (1985), and as a [[teenager]] in ''[[Yo Yogi!]]'' (1991).

Snagglepuss's appearance in a 1960s run of [[Kellogg's]] [[breakfast cereal|cereal]] [[television commercial]]s prompted [[lawsuit|legal action]] by actor [[Bert Lahr]], who said the similarity of the character's voice to his own could lead viewers to the false conclusion that Lahr himself had endorsed the product. As part of the settlement, the disclaimer "Snagglepuss voice by Daws Butler" was required to appear on each commercial. This made Butler one of the few voice artists to receive screen credits in a TV commercial.<ref name="newsfromme.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.newsfromme.com/2010/04/15/todays-video-link-90-2/ |website=News From ME (Mark Evanier's blog) |title=Today's Video Link |date=April 15, 2010}}</ref>

Butler reused his Snagglepuss voice for two other Hanna-Barbera characters: Jonathan Wellington "Mudsy" Muddlemore in ''[[The Funky Phantom]]'' and Brutus the Lion in ''[[The Roman Holidays]]''.
