Mr Magoo

**Mr Magoo**, or Quincy Magoo**,** is the main character of the Mr Magoo animated series, which first aired in Portugal of 2018. The character of Mr Magoo is blind up to the point where he can barely recognise simple shapes, such as his neighbours face or a mountain. Mr Magoo is near sighted, we get told this by Fizz in the second episode.

Mr Magoo's first spoken words, and the first words in the whole show, were 'You see Mr cat, looking for UFO's is like fishing, it's not catching one that counts, its all about the anticipation', which were spoken in episode one to Mr Cat. He lives in his home in New York with his pet Mr Cat and alongside his neighbours Linda, Weasel, and Fizz. Mr Magoo's credit card number is 324 and he wakes up at 8:30 am everyday.

## Past Life

### **Before middle school:**

There have only been one or two mentions of Magoo's life before middle school. One of them was when he handed Fizz to a woman and tells her that 'he reminds me of me when I was his age'. This was probably when Magoo was 6 or 7 years old, and it was Fizz's childlike behaviour that Magoo was talking about.

In episode 56, the last oak tree standing Mr Magoo told Mr Cat that there was a large forest where he grew up away from New York. The forest apparently had thousand year old oak trees.

### **Middle school:**

His best friend during middle school was called Harry Buttucks, and they would often hang out together in school and out of school as well. Magoo describes Harry as short and scruffy, and he later says about how nice Harry is as well. He also tells us that Harry wasn't very good with numbers and maths, and would often get yelled out by the teachers during these lessons. Apparently once he gave half his donut to a hedgehog because he had such a big heart. Along with this, we are also told that Harry can do a perfect impression of their gym teacher, Mr Griddy.

Magoo also had a childhood bully, Bruce. Magoo and Harry would hide in the library from him during lunch time. Magoo describes Bruce as 'not the sharpest knife in the door', and he also said that Bruce hated Harry.

Another person Magoo mentions is Sandy, who was Magoo's childhood crush. Harry new about his crush on Sandy but never told her, this is why Harry and Magoo were best friends in school.

During the 70th episode, Magoo gives out information about the middle school he went to, like food choices. He tells us that on Thursdays the school cafeteria gives out broccoli, not chips. He also talks about the teachers of the school, like Mr Simon the maths teacher or Mr Griddy the gym teacher. Along with all of this, he also give out information about his middle school life, like the time he put glue on the teachers chair,

### **Kung-Fu career:**

It is mentioned many times how Mr Magoo is a master at Kung-Fu as well as karate and so on. In episode 50, Kung Fizz, Mr Magoo is excited because he is finally meeting his Kung-Fu master again from his younger years, Deng Chan, who is said to be a dojo owner. It's also known that Mr Magoo is the owner of a Kung-Fu outfit, as shown in multiple episodes including episode 50.

In episode 36, Golden Fizz, it's said that Mr Magoo is a triple black belt in Kung-fu. This is said by Fizz.

### **Music career:**

#### Rock music:

Mr Magoo is a very musical man, even in his house he has some evidence of a past music career as there is a string instrument on the shelf next to his TV. His music career probably started with his old rock band, 'Gluttons for punishment', first shown in episode 67. The band consisted of 3 members, the vocalist, Magoo, the drummer, Freedo, and the guitarist, Bowtox. Freedo is said to be the fastest drummer in the world during his career.

The band often performed in gigs and small concerts, but they were successful enough to afford themselves a band van. Magoo had a lucky microphone as well, which he would use to sing during the gigs. During the episode that they are mentioned in, Magoo takes the band the the 'Badaboom', the biggest rock concert in the world. This meant that they must of been a good band back in their high points.

#### Classical music:

Not only does Magoo do rock music, he also does classical whistling. In the 61st episode, Magoo is about to record his album. this would mean that he would have had some practise in the past about the audition.

### **Spy career:**

In the episode entitled, Mag007, Mr Magoo told Mr Cat that he was once a spy for the government by saying, 'I'll let you in on a little secret Mr Cat, once upon a time, I was a spy for the government myself'. During his time as a spy, he faced a master criminal called Cluelich, who would sell his services to the highest bidder. Mr Magoo worked for a company nicknamed 'eagle eye', and his name was Agent Magoo. They had different codes they could say, for instance, code alligator 454, which probably meant something to do with Cluelich or backup. In episode 73, Cluelich is said to be working for the highest criminals in the world.

During the episode, Magoo gave away the name of a co-worker he was working with at the time of his job called Agent Z. Him and Magoo were probably good friends at work because Magoo calls him a friend and said that it's 'good to see him'. Agent Z was probably the weapons and vehicle supplier of the spies. He also mentions a colonel who was probably in charge of Magoo's missions

## Family

Mr Magoo's family is quite unknown, however we know that he has a niece and a girlfriend, and he also owns Mr Cat, and he owned Fizz at one point.

His niece, Maggie Magoo, is a young girl who Magoo sees quite rarely. Marnie is the name of his girlfriend, who he went out with on many dates.
