Hickory, Dickory, and Doc are fictional cartoon characters created by Alex Lovy for Walter Lantz Productions.
[1] Lovy's shorts mainly follow the contemporary cat-and-mouse chase formula of the time, with Doc usually failing to catch the more cunning Hickory and Dickory.
Hannah would continue to use Doc is six more cartoons without Hickory and Dickory, instead pairing him with a loyal bulldog companion named Champ.
[2] Hannah's shorts put much more emphasis on Doc's city life, as he schemes with Champ to find ways to make a quick buck.
Two hungry alley cats set up a raffle to con Doc into snatching a turkey from a house watchdog named Cecil.
