Subject: 80's Cartoon: Ugly Dog?

Written By: CamryMan on 08/27/03 at 11:14 p.m.

I'm still looking for info on this after many attempts...

Back in the day, on Saturday mornings, there was a short-lived cartoon series featuring a crime fighting dog whose primary asset was his fiercely homely appearance... the dog was so ugly that he kept a dog house over his head, and would frighten his victims into submission by lifting it off for a momentary glimpse (always facing away from the audience, of course).

Anybody remember this cartoon?

I remember this cartoon.  Was it a HannaBarbara cartoon?
What kind of information are you looking for?

I'm almost positive it was a Hannah-Barbera cartoon, yes.  I'm interested in the basics, really... like, for instance the name of the show, and then maybe some screen caps for old time sake.

"Mighty Man and Yukk"-The adventures of a thimble-sized superhero named Mighty and the ugliest dog in the world, Yukk. !! :D

YES!  Absolutely!  I knew it seemed like the other guy was tiny, and the name "Mighty Man" even sounded familiar.  Thanks for the link... the pics brought back memories.  Was that only on TV for one season, 1979?  If so, I guess this whole line of discussion is inappropriate for the 80's chat, and I apologize profusely...

...but it was still cool reliving the memories!
