I was on the phone at work when my two crazy-cat-coworkers asked me “Who that sissy cartoon - exit stage left! - is” … I scribbled “Snagglepuss” on a post-it and held it up, and sure enough, I can hear it coming up on youtube before I’ve even finished the conversation.
Not long after, Apollo Sputnik sent me this clip of Paul Lynde’s ill-fated early 70s sitcom (love how Paul played straight dads) and I realized that Paul was sort of the human incarnation of Snagglepuss. Well, all that and more:

PS. “Yoo-hoo! Sissy!” is from the gayest movie of all time, “BOOM.” It made an appearance on the Sundance Channel a few weeks ago - pray that it ends up in regular rotation!

We first heard about it from John Waters. Here’s the wiki and some funny IMDB user comments.
