The peeps over at Topless Robot have compiled a list of the 10 Most Underrated Cartoon Sidekicks which we have summarized below... Each entry has an accompanying video so if you don't remember any of them or you just want reminisce Click Here to check it out. Our most favorite on the list is Slow Poke Rodriguez. Do you guys remember him? Well, apparently all appearances of slow poke have been banned from our airwaves. Seems he was quite the stoner. Well, most of that’s true. Slowpoke was a laid-back country mouse who showed up in a mere two Looney Tunes shorts. In one, he sings the marijuana-positive version of “La Cucaracha” and is constantly hungry. He also has the ability to hypnotize Sylvester the cat, but we geek-culture wags can’t work that into a pot joke. Slowpoke’s other appearance, in Mexicali Schmoes, was brief and involved him gunning down a cat, thus shamefully furthering the stereotype of Mexicans as people who may own firearms at some point in their lives.""It sounds like something you’d make up while drunk at a party. Yeah, Speedy Gonzalez had a cousin named Slowpoke Rodriguez. Seriously. But they won’t show his cartoons anymore because he was obviously a huge stoner.
Poor lil Slow Poke, he's just "hongry".
