I am trying to find the name of the creature that, I thought, was on a ruff and reddy cartoon. The creature, which I thought was on the planet munimula, had horns coming out of his head, a bunch of feet, and chased them around blowing those horns. He was like in a cave alot too.
PLEASE, any help, this is driving me nuts.

to be someone’s huckleberry is to be someone’s sweetheart, friend, and was first used in 1832 by J. K. PAULDING in Westward Ho! (I. ix. 80)”If the [broad-]horn gets broadside to the current, I wouldn’t risk a huckleberry to a persimmon that we don’t every soul get treed, and sink to the bottom.”

I remember hearing this discussed on radio somewhere. It actually refers to a childhood memory of Johnny Mercer’s of going out to the wilds to pick huckleberries. At least that’s my memory of it.

Alan Reed had a part in it as Sally Tomato, and Mel Blanc did some looping. Fred and Barney, together again.

I think it’s a reference to Huckleberry Finn. In the movie Tombstone, Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday sarcastically tells a bad guy, “I’ll be your Huckleberry.”
