Handey is also credited with creating [[Toonces the Driving Cat]], the cat who could drive a car, although not very well.<ref name="toonces">Carman, John (February 14, 1992). "We Paws for This Message", ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]''.</ref> The recurring skit originated in 1989 with [[Steve Martin]] and [[Victoria Jackson]] as the crash-prone kitten's owners. In 1992 NBC aired a half-hour Toonces special. Handey, who lived with a real cat by the same name, once said he could not remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise. He said, "It was just one of those free association ideas you write down and look at later and think, 'Maybe.{{' "}}<ref name="toonces"/>
