Editing Pruneface (section)

==In other media==
Pruneface is a featured villain in ''[[The Dick Tracy Show]]'', a syndicated animated children's program which aired in the 1960s. He is voiced by either [[Mel Blanc]] or [[Paul Frees]], and his vocal characterization is modeled after that of [[Boris Karloff]]. His complexion is [[Lavender (color)|lavender]], lending him the color and wrinkled look of an actual [[prune]]. He is nearly always partnered with Itchy Oliver.

As ''The Dick Tracy Show'' was produced by [[United Productions of America|UPA]], which also produced the original [[Mr. Magoo]] cartoons, Pruneface appeared as the primary villain in an episode of ''[[The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo]]''. In this Tracy/Magoo [[Fictional crossover|crossover]] episode entitled, "Dick Tracy and the Mob", Pruneface is depicted as the chairman of a mob organization, the other board members consisting of fellow Tracy villains Flattop, Ichy Oliver, the Brow, Mumbles, the Mole, and Oodles.

The character also makes a brief appearance in the 1990 film adaptation of ''[[Dick Tracy (1990 film)|Dick Tracy]]'', in which he is portrayed by [[R. G. Armstrong]]. In this adaptation, he is an American mobster, operating in Tracy's city, who accepts [[Big Boy Caprice]] as his superior. He is eventually gunned down by the Blank.

In Kyle Baker's [[graphic novel]]s that served as prequels to the movie, Pruneface's real name is given as Lorenzo Prunesti.

In the 1943 ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' cartoon short ''[[Porky Pig's Feat]]'' by [[Frank Tashlin]], [[Daffy Duck]] confronts the manager of the Broken Arms Hotel, pretending to be intimidated by something he said. Daffy moves closer to his face so intensely that it is pushed inward, making it resemble a prune. Daffy, noticing this, says to the audience, "Hey, look! A Dick Tracy character: Pruneface!" Another ''Looney Tunes'' short, 1946's ''[[The Great Piggy Bank Robbery]]'' by [[Bob Clampett]], has Daffy (as "Duck Twacy") encountering a pack of ''Dick Tracy''-style villains, including an obvious Pruneface parody called "Pickle Puss".

Pruneface appears in Jason Yungbluth's 2002 graphic novel ''[[Weapon Brown]]'', which re-imagines many syndicated comic strip characters in a post-apocalyptic setting, as a member of the Syndicate, a group of crime lords and scientists ruling over a post-apocalyptic America. The group also consists of "Chairman Horns" (the Pointy-Haired Boss from ''[[Dilbert]]''), [[Mary Worth]], Uncle Duke from ''[[Doonsbury]]'', and (until Horns brutally kills him) Mr. Dithers from ''[[Blondie (comic strip)|Blondie]]''.

Pruneface, alongside the Brow, is one of the antagonists in ''Dick Tracy Forever''.
