Hmm. Pink. Dreams of being an actor. Dons fancy collar and cuffs. A teensy bit effete. Contemporary to pretty much the time being portrayed. Sure. That would work. I like it.

Russell’s first Snagglepuss story will appear in the Suicide Squad/Banana Splits annual, which hits shelves March 29. Dale Eaglesham provides the art for that story, which brings Snagglepuss before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
Is… is this real life? Because as awesome as this project sounds, it’s like something produced by a bizarre comicbook hipster Markov Chain text generator.

They could have Ian McKellen play his catty ex-lover, the Pink Panther.

I never thought about it before but it sounds like they’re just going back to the original inspiration.

And he’s wearing assless air chaps.
Strangley enough there was a point (quite a few years ago now) at which I worked on a pitch which featured Snagglepuss and Jana of the Jungle co-hosting a weird internet talk show. It never saw the light of day.

When I first saw this headline, I thought it was Bagpuss.
Snagglepuss makes more sense.

I don’t mind him being gay, pretty much because snagglepuss always struck me as more than a bit fabulous anyway.
What I fear is constant one note ‘hey did you know I’m gay? Here is my boyfriend showing you I’m gay. Guess what guys? I like doing these things because i’m gay. ETC…’
It is that one note ham fisted ‘there is nothing else to the character’ portrayal I fear.

I always group Snagglepuss and Uncle Arthur in the same boat. Guys that I knew were gay before I knew what gay meant.

All chaps are assless. Otherwise they’re just pants.

Snagglepuss gave me funny feelings I couldn’t explain when I was very young. I am SO on board with this.
I mean, if they can reboot Wacky Racers as Mad Max, why not?
