Snagglepuss
Snagglepuss is a fictional cartoon character who debuted in prototype form on ''The Quick Draw McGraw Show'' in 1959 and was established as a studio regular by 1961. A light pink anthropomorphic Puma (species), puma sporting an upturned collar, shirt cuffs, and bow tie, Snagglepuss enjoys the finer things in life and shows a particular affinity for the theatre. His stories routinely break the fourth wall as the character addresses the audience in self-narrator, narration, soliloquy, and asides. As originally voiced by Daws Butler, Snagglepuss seeks quasi-William Shakespeare, Shakespearean turns of phrase. Some of his camp (style), campy verbal mannerisms became catchphrases: "Heavens to Murgatroyd!", "Exit, Blocking (stage)#Stage directions, stage left!", and using emphatic "even" at the end of sentences. History A pink puma known as "Snaggletooth", featuring the eventual character's general manner and Bert Lahr–inspired voice but without collar or cuffs, first appeared on telev ...

Upturned Collar
An upturned collar (or popped collar) is an otherwise flat, protruding collar of either a shirt, Polo, jacket, or coat that has been turned upward. History Origins Before the early 20th century, most shirt collars were turned up in some manner. Men and women alike wore tall, stiff collars (as much as three inches tall), not unlike a taller version of a clerical collar, made either of starched linen, cotton, or lace. The writer H. G. Wells remarked in his 1902 book ''Kipps'' that these "made heneck quite sore and left a red mark under heears." Between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, men's collars were often detachable from their shirts, connected only by two removable collar studs (one in front and one at the back). Detachable collars were very stiff, and either stood straight up (as in a Hamilton collar) or were pressed over at an ironed-in, starched crease (as in a Fremont collar). After World War II, mass-production gradually phased out detachable collars from ordi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
