One of two little green Moon Men from the first and longest story arc of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The “Jet Fuel Formula” storyline (broadcast 1959-1960) concerns the pursuit of a formula for rocket fuel. The two aliens are sent to Earth by their people to prevent an influx of Earth tourists. Gidney has a mustache and Cloyd carries a “scrootch gun.”
Note: Jay Ward’s alien cereal mascot Quisp, introduced in 1965, obviously bears a significant resemblance to Cloyd.
Rocket J. Squirrel is the cartoon flying squirrel protagonist of the 1959-1964 animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, produced by Jay Ward. Rocky is the brains of the “moose and squirrel” duo, though he often appears just as naïve and gullible as Bullwinkle. When he flies, he is accompanied by a jet engine sound effect.
P.S. “And now, here’s something we hope you’ll really like!”
The pink cartoon alien mascot of Quisp, a sugar-sweetened breakfast cereal from the Quaker Oats Company. It was introduced in 1965 and continued as a mass-market grocery item until the late 1970s. It is now primarily sold online. Like Cap’n Crunch, Quisp was created by Jay Ward Productions as a trademark character on which to build a cereal brand.
Note: Quisp clearly looks based on the Moon Men (Gidney and Cloyd) from the 1959-1960 “Jet Fuel Formula” story arc of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
The cartoon mascot of Cap’n Crunch, a product line of sweetened corn and oat breakfast cereals introduced in 1963 and manufactured by the Quaker Oats Company. The sea cap’n’s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch. Jay Ward Productions created the trademark character and Hanna-Barbera provided the cartoon animation for the original TV commercials.
Bullwinkle the Moose – No. 277
Bullwinkle J. Moose is the cartoon moose protagonist of the 1959-1964 animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, produced by Jay Ward. Bullwinkle was known for being well-meaning but dimwitted. He and Rocky have a shared sense of optimism, persistence and traditional ethics and moral standards.
You need to watch the hilariously profane short film/mashup Raging Bullwinkle, supposedly created by the animators of The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000) for the film crew’s enjoyment.
