Question
Hey Ink, I have a cartoon question that has been driving us crazy at work. Here goes. On the Huckleberry Hound cartoon show, Huck had either a son, or a nephew, who was on only occasionally. He looked like a smaller version of Huck himself. Do you know his name?

Answer
Hello, Jim!

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to admit defeat! :(

I haven't seen Huckleberry Hound personally since I was 7 years old, so I searched online.  I'm afraid I found no reference at all to a Huck youngster, except in a synopsis of 'Huck Hound's Tale,' when an old Huck tells a story to his grandson.  (No name was given.)

I asked Bob Buethe at Cartoonacy.net, and he also couldn't come up with anything.

No unknown pup is listed in the cast list for any Huckleberry Hound short on any online listing I've been able to find.

Sorry I couldn't help you!

Expertise

I can answer questions about classic-era and modern American comic strips, and have a good store of knowledge about animation and animated cartoons of the past. I know a bit about some American and European comic books (Humor only.) I can help with questions about traditional media and some computer methods of drawing and animating. And I can recommend some excellent and useful books! I can't give any idea of the monetary value of original artwork/animation cels, etc.

Experience

I have been drawing for many years, have studied cartooning and illustration, done caricaturing from photographs and am very interested in classic comic strips. I also worked as a writer for the Mickey Mouse comic strip for three years, and had some of my submissions for newspaper syndication personally reviewed.
