Behind the Scenes: The Making of Quick Draw McGraw for Our YouTube Channel


Quick Draw McGraw
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 town sheriff, Quick Draw McGraw, and his partner, Baba Looey, as they bring no-good crooks into custody.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, Quick Draw and Baba Looey were in the first lineup we did for modeling, Snuffles was included in a later lineup, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did all the modeling work for the characters with the expectation being Baba's body.

The first Quick Draw story we produced for the channel, titled "The Wild West," which wasn't written by me. Unfortunately, we no longer have the original storyboard as it was lost over time. The plot followed Quick Draw and Baba Looey going after some baddies. The second story, titled "Quickest Dog in the West," was written by me, it involved Quick Draw teaching Snuffles some tricks. In the final story, "Let's Get Em' on with Already," which I also wrote, it had Quick Draw and Baba trying to locate the Dalton gang.

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