Courage Meets Bigfoot
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 1st, 2008
Courage the Cowardly Dog is an award-winning American animated television series (1999-2002), created by John R. Dilworth, who directed each episode, about a dog named Courage and his owners Muriel Bagge, a kindly old Scottish woman, and Eustace Bagge, a grumpy old farmer, living together in a farmhouse in the middle of the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas.
The specific specimen of studied species of Sasquatch seen in this selection surely should be spoken of only in some sort of spurious speculation.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I like COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG!!!
Too bad it’s no longer around!!!
What was so interesting is how some of the episodes would veer into the surreal and downright CREEPY. My “favorite” one is the one with the Giant Talking Fly insinuating himself into the Bagge home and quietly start literally SUCKING the life out of them before COURAGE interfered. Funny for teenagers and adults but too unsettling for small kids.
The one with the gerbil running a cosmetic factory where testing was done on HUMANS instead of animals was also memorable.
I agree, Loren, that the specimen is fit only for spurious speculation. Heh-Heh-Heh.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I always enjoyed these cartoons. My wife, however, didn’t appreciate their special charm. Thank you, Loren.
Awww……..another happy ending!
Never saw any of these cartoons before…interesting.
I think I saw a zipper on that Bigfoot, though.
