TOP CAT ANIMATION CEL You are bidding on an unsigned Framed Top Cat Animation cel that is in very good condition. Size – About 11” x 13” Cel and background are untrimmed Starting Bid only – 49.00 “Top Cat” originally broadcast on Wednesdays from 8:30-9pm Eastern. The central character, Top Cat—called T.C. by close friends, "pro-vid-ing it's with dignity" as the lyrics of the theme song say—is the leader of a gang of New York City alley cats: Fancy-Fancy, Spook, Benny the Ball, The Brain, and Choo Choo. A frequent plot-line of Top Cat revolved around the local policeman, Officer Charles "Charlie" Dibble, and his ineffective attempts to evict the gang from the alley. The only reason that he wanted to be rid of them was that Top Cat and his gang were constantly attempting to earn a quick dollar—usually through an illegal scam. Dibble's appearance was modeled on Allen Jenkins, who did his voice. Dibble, previously only an implement for making holes for planting seeds, has acquired a second meaning in the vernacular as slang for police officers. Top Cat (or TC) is the yellow skinned, greedy, somewhat lazy and clever main character. He wears a purple hat and jacket. He often rips off and/or tricks his gang and Officer Dibble. He does respect the effort the gang does for him, but he often takes credit for it. He also stops Officer Dibble from arresting him by lying to Dibble about how much talent Dibble has. He is voiced by Arnold Stang. Top Cat ran for two seasons (1961 and 1962) for a total 31 episodes. Not sure which episode this cel and reproduction background were used. Several photos show cel without matt and frame. Not sure what numbers around cel mean. This is a great collectors item. Posted with the eBay Android app
