Cartoon Vault: Quick Draw McGraw

Really? I have to do Quick Draw McGraw? Okay lets get this over with.

Quick Draw is one of Hanna Barbara's many many Anthropomorphic characters with neck wear; this time it's a horse.
Quick Draw is the sheriff of his town often solving problems using many Western themes and references popular at the time of release in the late 50s early 60s, he is joined by a small donkey called Baba Looey who is probably a stereotype these days. Quick Draw joins the likes of Hong Kong Phooey in terms of incompetent as quite frequently he ends up shooting himself in the face with his own gun while drawing it, he also has a Zorro-esque alter ego named El Kabong who usually smacks people on the head with a Spanish Guitar.
Quick Draw is a lot more memorable than some of the other Hanna Barbara characters and has a lot of legacy within America much in the same way as Yogi Bear but it doesn't stop some things from being really bizarre; for example, why does an anthropomorphic horse ride another horse? And why does a sheriff need to mask as a vigilante when he's the law enforcement in town.
As a cartoon it was okay, I never found it anything special, Hanna Barbara's cartoon animal brigade very rarely makes any effort to standout other than voice accents and most productions will have similar plots, although how you get 45 cartoons out of a two joke show is beyond me.
Sorry that Q was lacking in choice, R should make up for it.
