Huckleberry “Huck” Hound is a blue dog that spoke with a Southern drawl, with a relaxed, sweet, and well-intentioned personality. He first appeared in the series The Huckleberry Hound Show. Huckleberry Hound’s southern drawl and laid back mannerisms bear close resemblance to Southern Wolf in the MGM Cartoons including those produced by Hanna and Barbera.
The term “Huckleberry” can be a slang synonym for a rube or an amateur, and that seems to fit Huck’s personality. Most of his shorts consisted of Huck trying to perform jobs in different fields, ranging from policeman to dogcatcher, with backfiring results, yet usually coming out on top, either through slow persistence or sheer luck.
Huck did not seem to exist in a specific time period as he has also been a Roman gladiator, a Medieval knight, and a rocket scientist. He was never in the future though, only the present (as of the show’s airing) or the past. One regular villain in the series was “Powerful Pierre,” a tall and muscular unshaven character with a French accent. Another regular villain was “Dinky Dalton” a rough and tough western outlaw that Huck usually has to capture. Crazy Coyote, an Indian who Huck often had to defeat who was his match. And the rows, two crows with Mafia accents who often annoyed Farmer Huck. Another trademark of Huck was his tone deaf (as well as inaccurate) rendition of “Oh My Darling, Clementine,” often used as a running gag. He also commonly used the phrase “and stuff like that there” in place of “etc.” This phrase showed up quite often in many Hanna-Barbera productions of this time for some reason, but Huckleberry said it more often than anyone else. One of his careers had his job position on the door listed as “TS & SLTT.” When asked what it stood for, Huck said “Top secrets and stuff like that there.”

Various Hanna-Barbera characters were known for frequently turning to the viewing audience to make little comments and asides (following the tradition of the MGM cartoons directed by Tex Avery and produced by Fred Quimby characters of the 1940s, and earlier by Groucho Marx). Huck took this to somewhat of an extreme, as a significant part of a typical cartoon was his running narrative to the audience about whatever he was trying to accomplish.
