Every now and again a memory burbles up from my subconscious. Today it was a cartoon I used to watch (when I was a young lad) on Saturday mornings.
The Mighty Heroes (a parody of the super-hero genre) was created by Ralph Bakshi. The Mighty Heroes were accident-prone and inevitably found themselves in ridiculous situations. The cartoon first aired as a segment of the Mighty Mouse Playhouse in 1966-67.
The Mighty Heroes consisted of (with their ‘regular’ identity in italics):
- Strong Man, Mechanic
- Tornado Man, Weatherman
- Cuckoo Man, Manager of a pet shop
- Rope Man, Sailor
- Diaper Man, Baby (with a deep voice)
