What a great find! I do recall Pixie & Dixie, a more kid-friendly version of Tom + Jerry. Early Hanna-Barbera toons were terrific - The Huckleberry Hound Show was a real "event" to many of us Boomers. Also Quick Draw McGraw, Ruff "n Reddy, and of course, Top Cat! Long live early Hanna-Barbera! SFZ
Top Cat was a wonderful version of The Phil Silvers, Sgt Bilko series. The fun part was the BBC changed the name to Boss Cat as Top Cat was a pet food brand. The change actually improved sales of the brand by giving it free publicity.
This is a wierd one for me. I vaguely remember Pixie and Dixie, and the catchphrase "I hate those meeses to pieces", but not Jinx the cat! Lovely find though.
Another wonderful cartoon from the 1960s, which I loved. I do not think I had anything related to Pixie and Dixie, and Mr Jinx - perhaps a comic or two ?
They were the worst element of the The Huckleberry Hound Show. A poor copy of Tom & Jerry cartoons.
