From The Caturday Files

















































I was a huge fan of Mr. Jinx when I was a kid.


Mr. Jinks is a Hanna-Barbera character from the Pixie & Dixie and Mr. Jinks segments that ran as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show from 1958 to 1961.
Jink was sort of like Tom from Tom and Jerry in that he was constantly trying to catch him a mouse meal, but the similarities end there. Jinks was nowhere near as sinister as Tom. He was much “simpler” and his relationship with the mice, while adversarial, never felt as deadly as in Tom and Jerry.
Jinks had a great catchphrase that he would utter whenever he was foiled by Pixie & Dixie. He would say, “I hates those meeces to pieces!

Ha ha, the cat on the windshield! I love that cool tattoo. Oh, that sphynx cat in the faux fur, LOL! And I loved Mr Jinks too when I was a kid. I was NOT a Tom and Jerry fan -- too mean and violent.

This is a brilliant caturday collection! Thank-you! I am 'screening' ne'er do wells at the retirement home today and it's pretty quiet... social isolation indeed....
