A series of caches dedicated to the lesser known Looney
Tunes characters.
Most of us grew up watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and
the rest of the characters on Saturday mornings, but how many of us
can still remember the rest of the crew. The ones that got some on
camera exposure, but were never the stars of the show.
I can remember most of them, How will you do?
All caches in the series are a combination of small, micros
or nano containers placed to be winter friendly. The series is
meant to be fun for the young and/or young at heart.
Egghead, Jr. debuted in 1954's Little Boy Boo, and made two
subsequent Looney Tunes appearances in 1955's Feather Dusted and
1960's Crockett-Doodle-Doo. Egghead, Jr. is a large-headed and very
intelligent baby chick and appeared in several shorts with
bumptuous Foghorn Leghorn (also a character directed by McKimson
and voiced by Blanc). The only child of Miss Prissy, a widow hen,
Egghead, Jr. was bookish and never talked (though he mumbled when
he counted playing hide-and-seek with Foghorn in Little Boy Boo).
Foghorn would try to teach him to play games like baseball and
cowboys and Indians, with the intent that he act more like a
typical boy, but invariably resulting in bodily injury for Foghorn.
It was previously noted that Egghead, Jr. was also in the 1959
cartoon A Broken Leghorn, but this was the character Junior
Rooster. In 1991, Egghead Jr. appeared in the Tiny Toon Adventures
episode "Hog-Wild Hamton"; he's Hamton's neighbor and he doesn't
like being disturbed, so when a wild party takes place at Hamton's
house and the guests refuse to keep the noise down, Egghead takes
matters into his own hands. Egghead Jr. also makes a cameo in Star
Warners. He makes a cameo watching Michael Jordan bounce in Space
Jam. His most recent appearance was the Duck Dodgers episode
"Corporate Pigfall."
All caches are hidden on a service road that parallels
highway 11. Do not attempt these caches from the highway. Safety
First.
