Quick Draw McGraw

Quick Draw McGraw is an anthropomorphic cowboy horse created by Hanna-Barbera and the title character of The Quick Draw McGraw Show. He speaks Western with a Western accent. He was originally voiced by Daws Butler. 
== About Quick Draw ==
Quick Draw is a white horse with a black mane, a large peach muzzle and grey hooves. His main attire is a red stetson cowboy hat, a blue bandana and a red gun belt with holster. He would also occasionally wear spurs on his hooves. 
As El Kabong, Quick Draw wears an all black gear similar to Zorro: A black straight hat and a matching cape being tied in ribbons and wields a guitar where he serves as his primary weapon to smash his enemies' head. 
He is a well-intentioned, but somewhat dim sheriff of a non-specified town set in the Old West in his own shorts. 
His famous catchphrases are "Now hold on there!" and "I'll do the 'thin'in' around here and don't you forget it!" Also if he got hurt he would often say "Ooooh that smarts!" One of the main running gags was him accidently shooting himself with his own 6 shooter. 
Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro, Baba Looey (also voiced by Butler), who occasionally spoke Mexican with a Mexican accent. 
Another character featured in Quick Draw's series of shorts was Snuffles, the bloodhound dog who would point to his mouth when he wanted a dog biscuit, then hug himself, leap up in the air, and float back down after having eaten one. In several cases when Quick Draw did not have a dog biscuit to offer, or if he tried to give Snuffles the reward cash for capturing an outlaw, Snuffles would either shake his head and say, "Uh-uh," or grunt to himself and mumble "Darn cheapskate!" and then throw the money back in Quick Draw's face. (between the trapper Rawhide Clyde and his mangy hound Bristletooth, only beef jerky was used instead of dog biscuits.) In his first appearance, "Bow-Wow Bandit", he was trying to find Quick Draw's assistant Baba Looey, who was kidnapped by a bandit that thinks that he has a tattoo of a map on his back. When he wasn't called Snuffles, Quick Draw sometimes called him dog deputy. (A similar gag was deployed on the "Crazy Claws" segment of The Kwicky Koala Show
One of Quick Draw's main enemies was his evil double Horseface Harry who was a dangerous outlaw and often got Quick Draw in trouble.
In Jellystone!, Quick Draw's character has been fully absorbed into the character of El Kabong, now a Latino vigilante.https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/trailers/1179885-jellystone-hanna-barbera-characters-return-in-hbo-max-original-animated-series He also works as a teacher rather than being a sheriff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj3YebuAO4c HBO Max and Warner Bros.

=== Alter-Ego ===
In certain cases, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of the masked vigilante El Kabong (a spoof of Zorro). 
As "El Kabong", Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping down on a rope with the war cry "Ole!" and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar (after shouting "kabong!") which is always referred to as a "kabonger", producing a distinctive kabong sound and usually destroying the guitar in the process.

== Trivia ==
* In the Spanish American version, Quick Draw (Tiro Loco McGraw) speaks in a very English-influenced accent and Baba Looey (Pepe Trueno, or Pepe Luis in some episodes) speaks in a very Mexican with a very Mexican accent. In the Brazilian version, however, Quick Draw speaks in a drawling Portuguese with a drawling Portuguese which along with his hispanized name (Pepe Legal) would suggest he was either a Texan-American or Mexican cowboy.
* On the cartoon's soundtrack, the "kabong" sound effect was produced by a foley artist striking the detuned open strings of a cheap acoustic guitar (without any of the obvious cartoon theatrics).
* In Yogi's Treasure Hunt, he and Huckleberry Hound are often paired together on scouting missions.
* In an episode of The Brady Bunch, Marcia is watching Baba Looey and Quick Draw McGraw on TV.
* His "birthday" is November 21.
