The Hector Heathcote Show.   “The Original Sound Track of TV’s Colorful Cartoon Program with the complete Cast in 6 Entertaining Stories Starring Hector Heathcote ‘The Minute-and-a-Half Man”, Hashimoto-San and Sidney the Elephant”   From Terrytoons.   RCA Camden Records.   1964.

Hector Heathcote first appeared in The Minute and a Half Man in July 1959.   Hector started out as a scientist who invented a time machine to take him back to America’s War for Independence.   He built the boat that enabled Washington to cross the Delaware, prepared the horse to enable Paul Revere to make his famous ride, and was similarly instrumental in setting the stage for any number of other notable events. Somehow, tho, posterity neglected to note his many pivotal roles, and he remained unknown to students of history — except, of course, those who saw his cartoons.

He got his own TV show, which debuted October 5, 1963, on NBC. The show’s back segments were occupied by a couple of other minor Terrytoons characters, Hashimoto-San (a martial arts mouse) and Silly Sidney (a neurotic elephant). The show ran two seasons, but hasn’t had much of an afterlife in reruns.

While the show was running, Hector was merchandised on lunch boxes, toys and elsewhere.   Gold Key published him in comic book form, but only one issue (dated March, 1964) came out

Hector’s creation is attributed to writer Eli Bauer.   The director was Dave Tendlar, a veteran animator whose work went back to the Max Fleisher days. His voice was done by John Myhers, who had many live-action credits as an actor, writer, producer and director, but did very little other voice work.   – Toonpedia

“Li’l Abner Fo Chillun” Created and illustrated by Al Capp for United Features Syndicate, Inc. 20th Century Fox Records.

Li’l Abner was the title character in the long-running (1934-1977) syndicated newspaper strip by cartoonist Al Capp. Hardly “li’l,” Abner was a hulking, naive man-child, and the frequent foil for Capp’s satiric stories about American life and politics. This simple-minded citizen of humble Dogpatch was a paragon of virtue in a dark and cynical world. Abner often found himself far from home, whether in the company of unscrupulous industrialist General Bullmoose, in hapless snowbound Lower Slobbovia, or wherever Capp’s whimsical and often complex plots led our heroic hillbilly.

Li’l Abner was the unlikely son of tiny Mammy (Pansy) and Pappy (Lucifer) Yokum. Mammy was the industrious “sassiety leader” of backward Dogpatch who instilled honesty and All-American ideals in Li’l Abner. Pappy, in contrast, was an illiterate and hopeless parasite. From the inception of the strip, Abner was vigorously pursued by Daisy Mae, a beautiful Dogpatch damsel hopelessly in love with the bumbling, unappreciative and seldom amorous bachelor. Abner spent nearly two decades outracing Daisy in the annual Sadie Hawkins Day race but the couple finally married in 1952, a fictional event that captured national attention and was a cover story for Life magazine. Their only child, Honest Abe was born in 1953.

Li’l Abner generally had no visible means of support but he sometimes earned his living as a mattress tester. When not involved in worldwide escapades, he was engrossed by his favorite “comical strip,” Fearless Fosdick He interacted with many marvelous and fantastic characters creating language and situations which have become permanent parts of the American lexicon. — Li’l Abner.com
