Today, he is derided as a negative stereotype, but Go Go Gomez (Paul Frees) was a regular part of UPA's syndicated Dick Tracy Show in 1961. As this clip shows, this was reissued in 1989, ahead of Warren Beatty's live-action adaptation of Dick Tracy.
In "The Copy Cat Caper", Gomez is sent to track down Sketch Paree and the Mole, who are using a Tracy Halloween mask to pull bank robberies. But, first, a Crimestopper tip from Tracy (Everett Sloane).
Go Go was also UPA's answer to Speedy Gonzales, but not as funny.
Rating: B-.
