Proposed Appearances
Dastardly and Muttley were to appear in the series The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, where they (especially Dastardly) would have been perfect villains given the tone and the Perils of Pauline references, rather they were imagined to be the bodyguards of a younger brother of Penelope. However, this was only in the first sketches of the series, and the two did not appear in the final work. At one of their encounters, the Hooded Claw did ask Penelope, "Were you expecting Dick Dastardly?" possibly in reference to the above unshot scene.
In the unaired pilot of the new Wacky Races series, Wacky Races Forever, Dastardly and Muttley would have been the main villains, working for the vice-president of Perfect Industries, in an attempt to stop the other racers from crossing the finish line. Unfortunately, the series was not picked up.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or appearances:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”

“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
