His first appearance was in an eponymous short in 1967. He was voiced by Larry Storch. Robert McKimson took over as director for the last two cartoons in this series. In 1967, Jack L.

The two series that Lovy developed were Cool Cat and Merlin the Magic Mouse.

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.

As originally voiced by Daws Butler, Snagglepuss seeks quasi-William Shakespeare, Shakespearean turns of phrase.
