Yakky Doodle - Adorable
little yellow duck who debuted in 1959 on the Auggie Doogy and Doggy
Daddy cartoon (aired as part of the QUICK DRAW MCGRAW SHOW).
In 1961, Yakky debuted in his own segment of Hanna-Barbara cartoon
THE YOGI BEAR SHOW.
Whenever Yakky Doodle was in trouble, he simply
called out for help to his canine friend, Chopper (voiced by Vance Colvig), a large white bulldog, who always came to
the rescue of his "Little Buddy".
The characters
Fibber Fox and Alfy Gator
(both voiced by Daws Butler) were always on
the prowl to eat Yakky for a next meal. Once, during Halloween, a
hungry wicked witch
lured Yakky to her home to eat him for dinner, but Chopper arrived
in time to save the day.

Years later, Yakky doodle appeared on SCOOBY'S ALL-STAR LAFF-A-LYMPICS
and on a segment of Cartoon Network's HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW"
where the poor little duck received a chemical castration. Ouch!
Where's Chopper when you really need him?
The voice of Yakky Doodle was provided by Jimmy
Weldon who also voiced a similarly sounding puppet character named Webster
Webfoot.
