Hey older Lounge Lizards, I could use some help.

[LNM]

The other day I was talking with a friend who was telling me that she needed to dig through her storage closet for something. In a brief instant a cartoon flashed through my mind. I told her about it and she remembered it too, but neither of us can remember the cartoon character.
It was in the 60s and in every cartoon the character needed something out of a storage closet. They would run to the closet and start tossing out weird objects, a camera, golf clubs, a cow until they finally found the object they were searching for.
Does anyone else remember this? Because I can't remember the character, I can't do a YouTube search.

Thanks for the help and if this makes anyone else pull their hair out because they only remember as much as I do, sorry.

Oops. Can't spell Lizards.

1. Can't help you, but that seems like my storage closet, minus the cow n/t

2. Sounds like Fibber McGee

but he was on the radio...

3. I LOVED Mr. Whoopee.

He was one of the characters on Tennessee Tuxedo and his Tales. Tennessee and his walrus buddy would
have adventures/challenges every week and they usually went to mr Whoopee for advice.

From Wikipedia:
"When faced with more trouble than they could bear, the pair would turn to their friend, a college professor
named Phineas J. Whoopee (voiced by Larry Storch), the “Man with All the Answers”. Mr. Whoopee, as he
was known, was extremely knowledgeable on all subjects, and would frequently lecture the pair on such
diverse topics as the physics behind the hot air balloon to how musicians become popular. His lectures were
illustrated and animated on the Three Dimensional Blackboard (3DBB for short), that he would retrieve out
of an avalanche of junk from his overstuffed hallway closet."

I'll look into some YouTube videos. Thanks.

5. Dagwood maybe? n/t

[LNM]

9. I think you're right about Dagwood

I think he did that, but I'm thinking of a cartoon.

6. I thought that was how all cartoon charachters look for stuff.

At least it was years ago. Pretty standard.

10. You may be right. nt

12. True..and if they

were away from home, everything they needed (hammers, chickens, power tools, cooking utensils, and fire-breathing dragons) were kept in their back pockets.

Or, if they didn't wear clothing, likely up their asses.

11. This?

13. I seem to remember them throwing things out of the closet, not just falling out.

It almost seems like a dream, because I was probably about 5 years old, but my friend remembered it too. I think canoeist52 may be right that it happened in a lot of cartoons.
