Gandy Goose

[1] He is frequently paired with Sourpuss, a cat, beginning in the 1939 short Hook Line and Sinker.

Originally voiced by composer and orchestral arranger Arthur Kay from 1939 to 1941, Gandy spoke in a lyrical vocal parody of radio comedian Ed Wynn while Sourpuss vocally impersonated an impatient Jimmy Durante.

Their surreal adventures often showcase extended dreams, bookended by coarse bedroom arguments.

[4] Gandy Goose (along with Sourpuss) is one of the only characters who didn't appear in the 1999 Terrytoons pilot Curbside.

In 1947, St. John Publications took over the licensing of Terrytoons characters; Gandy Goose continued to appear in Terry-Toons Comics and Mighty Mouse as well as Dinky Duck, Heckle and Jeckle, and his own self-titled series, which ran four issues from March 1953 to November 1953 and an additional two issues at Pines Comics from 1956 to 1958.
