In American cartoons, Morocco Mole was whose animated sidekick?
Secret Squirrel is a cartoon character created by Hanna-Barbera, who first appeared in a prime-time animated special called "The World of Secret Squirrel and Atom Ant", which aired on September 12, 1965. He was given his own show in 1966, titled "The Secret Squirrel Show".
Secret Squirrel (voiced with a slight lisp by Mel Blanc) serves as a secret agent, taking orders from his superior, Double-Q aka the Chief of the International Sneaky Service. Double Q is usually annoyed by Secret Squirrel when he enters the office via other objects in his office rather than the door.
Secret Squirrel is assisted in his adventures by his fez-wearing, bespectacled sidekick Morocco Mole, voiced by Paul Frees impersonating actor Peter Lorre.
Secret Squirrel was a parody of the spy genre, and parodied elements of the James Bond films. Secret Squirrel was also known as "Agent 000".
The pair fights crime and evil enemy agents using cunning and a variety of spy gadgets, including a machine gun cane, a collection of weapons kept inside Secret's trench coat which is also bulletproof, and a variety of devices concealed in his purple fedora which has eye holes cut in it that he seldom removes.
Secret's recurring archenemy is Yellow Pinkie, a parody of both Auric Goldfinger from "Goldfinger" and of Sydney Greenstreet's portrayal of the Kasper Gutman character from Dashiell Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon".
