Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long was a segment of Hanna-Barbera's The Magilla Gorilla Show, and later appeared on Peter Potamus and his Magic Flying Balloon. Ricochet Rabbit worked as a sheriff in a Western setting called Hoop 'n' Holler. Ricochet, true to his name, would bounce off stationary objects yelling " ping-ping-ping!" His deputy Droop-a-Long Coyote was never able to be as "jumpy" and would end up crashing through a window, or some similar accident except on one occasion when Ricochet and Droop-a-Long were running away from a bear. Unfortunately for both of them, the bear also managed to bounce off.
In addition to his speed, which enabled him to outrun even bullets, Ricochet was known for using trick bullets against his opponents that would stop in mid-flight and hover while striking the bad guy with an impossibly oversized mallet or drawing a target on his nose.
Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long are played by Don Messick and Mel Blanc who impersonates Ken Curtis.
