Then of course there were the fantastic epic cartoon series like Dogtanian, Around the World with Willy Fogg, Ulysses 31 etc. Now look around at the freaking Powerpuff Girls and see where progress has got us.

Anybody remember Gideon the depressed duck? I'm beginning to think it was a hallucination.

Not sure about a human side kick, but he was often accompanied by a mischivious silent teddy bear called Ã¢â‚¬ËœTeddyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢.

And the first human special guest was Roy Castle.

Anyone else old enough to reemember Dan Dare and his sidekick Digby. The other thing I remember about it was the cutaway drawings of planes and cars etc. it always had on the middle pages, probably what inspired to take things apart originally.
