Go Go Gophers - A tribe of native American
gopher Indians featured on the animated cartoon GO GO GOPHERS/CBS/1968 that
originally aired as part of
UNDERDOG/NBC/1964-66.
The main characters in the series were Ruffled Feather and Running Board, two
buck-toothed gopher Indians living in Gopher Gulch in the 1860s.
They were in constant conflict with Sergeant Okey Homa, and blustery Colonel
Kit Coyote, the local cavalry fort commander who wanted to eradicate the gophers
population from the western frontier.
Meanwhile, the gophers sabotaged the fort, the railroad and the telegraphs
lines into the Colonel's headquarters.
TRIVIA NOTE:
The other cartoon segment on the show was
entitled KLONDIKE CAT about a feline Canadian Mountie who chased a criminal mouse called Savoir
Faire whose catchphrase was "Savoir Faire is
everywhere!"
