The Dick Tracy Cartoon Show

UPA Productions produced and released a series of nationally syndicated "Dick Tracy" cartoons in 1961. The original Chester Gould comic strip tended to be more violent than this upbeat and humorus version, with villians foiled more by the members of Tracy's detective squad: "Hemlock Holmes", "Officer Heap O'Calorie", "Joe Jitsu", & "Go Go Gomez".
Character actor Everett Sloan was the voice of Dick Tracy, Benny Rubin was the voice of Joe Jitsu, former network tv kids show comedy performer "Uncle Johnny" Coons did the voices of Stooge Villa, Mumbles & Officer Heap O'Calorie, Paul Frees & Mel Blanc did the voices of "Prune Face", "Flat Top", "BB Eyes" and "Sketch Parrie". Jerry Hauser was the voice of "The Mole".
The show which consisted of 5 minute cartoons were often paired with other cartoons. After 130 episodes, the show was cancelled.
