Snagglepuss (sometimes called Snag for short) is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character created in 1959; a pink anthropomorphic mountain lion voiced by Daws Butler. Snagglepuss lives in a cavern, which he constantly tries to make more habitable for himself. No matter what he does, however, he always winds up back where he started or worse off than he was before. Butler's voice characterization is reminiscent of the more soft-spoken aspect of Bert Lahr's broad-ranging characterization for the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. Snagglepuss has two catchphrases. Before dashing off (whether to escape or for some other reason), he exclaims "Exit, stage left!", a phrase related to acting. He also utters the expletive "Heavens to Murgatroid!", which Bert Lahr said in the 1944 movie Meet the People. Later incarnations of Snagglepuss would modify these catchphrases, such as changing the direction of his exit, or saying "Heavens to planetoid!" In some episodes, Snagglepuss is chased by Major Minor (voiced by Don Messick), a tiny-sized hunter, whose chases seem similar to the ones which involve Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny (due to the scripts by Michael Maltese).
