Origins[edit]

I just saw an episode of Top Cat with a dog named Griswold or Griswald - TC predates Precious Pupp by a few years.

Not only did this dog sound exactly like Muttley (which is mentioned elsewhere on the net) but also LOOKED an awful lot like Muttley. Someone should do some research and update the article accordingly. 82.108.5.18 12:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asthmatic laugh[edit]

The article should include a recording of Muttley's very characterictic laugh. What do you think? (Unfortunatley I can't help with that, but here's the idea anyway.) Azazell0 18:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you've got one, I'd love to see it added! Badbilltucker 22:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to hear it as well. I remember the laugh, but my spouse & kids think I'm crazy. We found Muttley, but no laugh recorded. Dallas Thompson

The muttering style of Muttley was used earlier by Hanna-Barbera in the 1964 Flintstones episode called Indianrockolis 500, and was uttered by Fred Flintstone himself (voiced by Alan Reed). He asks Mr Slate for time off (to work on his race car) and is refused. He walks away whilst muttering "sassa frassen rick rassen" etc - exactly like Muttley (Don Messick) later would.

Slate then demands - "What did you say?" (as Dick Dastardly often would to Muttley) and Flintstone then pretends he that hadn't insulted him (again like Muttley).

Dastardly and Muttly Wikiproject???[edit]

I think i'm gonna make a wikiproject in honor of Dastardly and Muttly. It may only help a little, but they have had such a cultural imact on our world that they deserve one. Johnnywalterboy 04:15, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Muttley2.jpg[edit]

Image:Muttley2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Muttley and Eric Sykes[edit]

Anay material that may suggest that as Dick Dastardley was inspired by Terry Thomas, was Muttley inspired by Terry Thomas's side kick in Those Magnificent Men, Eric Sykes? The similarities struck me after seeing Those Magnificent Men yesterday and Wacky Races tonight. 82.33.48.80 (talk) 19:45, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Hunting dog?"[edit]

What is a "hunting dog"? It's no breed I've ever heard of. And as far as I can tell from the article, bloodhounds and pointers are types of hunting dogs, so that's kind of redundant to say "bloodhound, pointer, Airedale terrier and hunting dog". AnnaGoFast (talk) 20:54, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
