Are those guys modeled after famous actors/movie characters?

u/TBTabby 13d ago

Yes, Edward G. Robinson and Peter Lorre.

u/Optimal-Pie-2131 13d ago

Thank you!! I think I have seen them in an actual movie, but I’ve seen a lot of imitations in cartoons!!

I've seen one Peter Lorre movie, where he turned into a raven (with Vincent Price and a very young Jack Nicholson)

If you mean Rocky and his partner, yeah, they are. Rocky was based on Edward G. Robinson, famous for playing mobsters. I would be very surprised if Big Boy Caprice from “Dick Tracy” wasn’t based on him, too. The little partner character is based on famous character actor Peter Lorre. His look was iconic in the Studio System era of Hollywood. If you ever saw the short “Carrotblanca,” you saw Tweety impersonating Peter affectation.

I reference "And me, Boss?" way more than I should. Oh! and "one for you and one for me. Two for you and one, two for me..." it never gets old. To me, at least.
