Behind the Scenes: The Making of Augie Doggie for Our YouTube Channel

Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1959 to 1962 as a segment under The Quick Draw McGraw Show, with a total of 45 episodes airing in syndication. Each episode followed the ongoing adventures of a dog, father and son pair, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, Augie and Daddy were in the first lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all the modeling work for the characters.

The first Augie story we produced for the channel, titled "A Pup's a Quack," which was written by me. We do have the original storyboard, and I did include in our Introduction blog, which you can read about here. The plot followed Augie asking his father if he can keep a duck. The second story, titled "A Doggie Pair," which was also written by me, involved the pair going on a fishing trip. In the final story, "Dear Dad, is Having a Grand Day," which I also wrote, had Augie and Daddy cleaning up their house in silly ways.

We are still in the process of writing more Augie stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Augie story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
