Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long
Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long was a segment of Hanna-Barbera's 1964–66 cartoon The Magilla Gorilla Show, and later appeared on The Peter Potamus Show.
Background
In a Wild West setting, a cowboy rabbit named Ricochet Rabbit worked as a sheriff in the town of Hoop 'n' Holler. Ricochet would bounce off stationary objects yelling "Bing-bing-bing!" His deputy and foil Droop-a-Long Coyote was not as fast and was very clumsy.In addition to his speed, which enabled him to outrun bullets, Ricochet used trick bullets against his opponents, including a bullet that would stop in mid-flight and strike the target with an impossibly oversized mallet, and another which would draw a target on his nose and punch it.
