Catdog

“One fine day with a woof and a purr, an idea was born and it caused a little stir”—this catchy rhyme with a jumpy beat opened a classic cartoon about a set of conjoined brothers: a cat and a dog. It all
started when writer Peter Hannan was sketching an idea for a character called, “the Amazing CatDog Man,” a
superhero with a man’s body and the heads of both a cat and a dog. They were originally designed to fight crime while bickering back and forth. Despite not having super powers, the end product of the duo was much the same. Dog’s silly antics and brash attitude dragged uptight and bitter Cat into a different kind of trouble in each episode. Often, episodes involve the conjoined brothers running into long-term enemies such as “The Greaser Dogs,” a trio of dogs that live to make the misfit CatDog miserable and Rancid
Rabbit, a mean, green rabbit who often cons CatDog into working for him simply because he dislikes them.
“I think it’s really great how two personalities can come together as one,” said junior Carolina Banuelos.
With the original run lasting from October 4, 1998 to July 24, 2004, it left a lasting impression on the 21st generation.
