Character Corner = Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot

It's time for a brand new segment on this blog. I call it Character Corner, where I gives the history of classic cartoon stars. I'll take requests, but usually do one I want to do. So for my first Character Corner, I'm taking a look at one of the sweetest couple I've ever seen. The name of the characters are Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot. Marc is a large bulldog, and Pussyfoot is a sweet female kitten. They first appeared in the cartoon, Feed the Kitty, where Marc tried to hide her from his master. The two animals, while different species, are the sweetest thing since cinnamon rolls. It's nice to see Marc protect a kitten from danger, and if you don't smile at it, you are very sick. The duo starred in five of their own shorts, but make cameos in five others. Marc and Pussyfoot inspired two Animaniacs character, Button and Mindy, a dog protecting his young master. They even inspired a certain scene in Disney's Monster Inc. film. Most cartoon watchers have forgotten these two comedy goldmines due to other Looney Tune characters who were made in the 50's. Even so, Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot are a great pair that made my heart melt with laughter and adorableness. It's a shame these two weren't used more often, for they could have had a huge fanbase around. If they did, I would be in it.
