Gidney & Cloyd
Gidney and Cloyd are fictional characters originally appearing in the American animated television program ''Rocky and His Friends'' (now known, along with ''The Bullwinkle Show'', as ''The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show'' or simply ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'').

(Gidney is also an actual surname indigenous to New England and neighboring areas of Canada. Cloyd is both an actual surname and a given name—see former major league baseball player Cloyd Boyer as well as current major league baseball player Tyler Cloyd.) The names also suggest the Bonnie and Clyde gangster couple, of whom Clyde was the more trigger-happy. Gidney and Cloyd are "Moon Men", inhabitants of Earth's Moon. They are essentially humanoid, but are depicted as about half the height of the average adult Earth human. Although the narration of the series describes them as "green men", their color varies from sce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
