When I was little, I was such a TV-addict. I watched a lot of cartoons particularly the old cartoons (1970s and before). One cartoon that I still remember and cherish to this day is the Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy show, created by famous team animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (The Flintstones, Top Cat, Yogi Bear, etc). For those of you not familiar with the show, here's the basic overview:

Based on the characters Spike and Tyke (created by Hanna-Barbera during the 1940's), a kind-hearted yet barely competent single father struggles through the hardships of the 1950's while raising his precocious son, Augie. His attempts to prove himself a good role model for his son often get him--if not both--into trouble. Although Augie adores his father, he has a tendency to be critical when his "dear old Dad" (as he often refers to him) fails to meet his expectations. Catchphrases such as "Oh the shame of it" is prominent throughout the series. While it is never mentioned, the location is supposedly suburban New York (particularly upstate). The mother is never mentioned or referred to in the cartoon series either, although it is believed that the mother died in childbirth. Put it short, the series focuses on the misadventures of father and son.

With all that said, you're looking at my own drawing of Augie himself. Enjoy!
