Originally appearing in comic books, this character soon went on to animated cartoons as part of the 1965 Milton the Monster Show, but did not last long in either venue.
The comic also included stories starring other characters, such as Elmer the Elk, Orry the Orangutan, and the porcine Stuffy Derma.
Also featured was a fez-wearing hound named Osh, who acted as a foil for Muggy, but also appeared in solo stories.
The title lasted only four issues, but at least two of them were reprinted in 1963 by I. W. Publications, under their “Super Comics” label.
[2] In 1965, the character was changed considerably — he was now a “boy fox” instead of a cat, and more con artist than screwball — and appeared in six cartoons as part of The Milton the Monster Show (which was another Hal Seeger creation).
