- The Deputy Dawg Show–a cartoon series from the studio Terrytoons–aired on television during the last years of legal segregation in the early 1960s, and Jim Crow in the South significantly shaped the program. The show’s official advertising agency developed promotional events for the cartoon in segregated venues.

Deputy Dawg was, without doubt, Mississippi's laziest lawman. The only thing that could rouse him was the shenanigans of Musky the Muskrat, Ty Coon, Pig Newton and Vince van Gopher. And whenever he found those pesky varmints unlawfully at large in other folks' chicken coops and melon patches he'd spring into action with a cautionary 'just a cotton pickin' moment!' The only human cartoon in the series was DD's boss, the white moustachioed sheriff who just about put up with his incompetent underling.
The Deputy Dawg Show was so popular in the 60s that, in 1963, movie theatres were insisting that Terrytoons create episodes of the cartoon for the big screen. Impressionist Dayton Allen provided most of the characters distinct and amusing voices.

The Deputy Dawg Show began in October, 1960, on only a few dozen stations in the USA. But it quickly caught on, and was soon popular across the whole of America. Most of the character voices (based on stereotypical southern characteristics) were supplied by Dayton Allen, a prolific Hollywood voice actor who voiced many Terrytoons characters in television and theatrical shorts in the 1950s and 1960s. The show gave a professional animation debut of Ralph Bakshi of 'Fritz the Cat' fame.
