Pixie and Dixie are reading a Captain Blastoff comic book.

Jinks in Ace of Space.īut Barbera and dialogue writer Charlie Shows also gave a nod to space explorer TV shows (and their comic book spin-offs) like Tom Corbett, Space Cadet Rocky Jones, Space Ranger and Captain Video as the cartoon opens. Ruff and Reddy, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Augie Doggie, Snooper and Blabber, and the Flintstones all had encounters with beings from another planet. But Bill and Joe made up for lost time when they got their own studio. Perhaps significantly, Hanna and Barbera’s Tom and Jerry did not.
And what cartoon character in the ‘50s didn’t meet up with some kind of alien? Bugs and Daffy did, Popeye battled some, Woody Woodpecker vanquished termites from Mars. But add to that a huge heaping of paranoia (né “Stop the Commies From Taking Away Your Freedom!!!”), and the decade that brought you the pleasant suburban misadventures of Beaver and Wally Cleaver also generated wild fear via seemingly endless numbers of outer space invasion movies.Īnimated cartoon writers were, no doubt, pleased with all this, as it gave them something to gently lampoon. Sure, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon date to about the mid-‘30s, and the flying saucer craze erupted in June 1948. Next to cars with huge tail fins, that is. Nothing says the 1950s like space explorers and aliens. Plot: Pixie and Dixie rescue an alien mouse and use him to teach Jinks a lesson.
