Introduced in a Paramount Modern Madcap, Honey Halfwitch was spun into her own series of shorts in 1965.
There were nine shorts in all, spread out across three years (1965-8), with ventriloquist Shari Lewis as the voice of Honey. Producer-writer Howard Post is better known for his print work, having written & illustrated The Dropouts newspaper strip, which was adapted for Archie's TV Funnies in 1971, and DC Comics' Anthro.
Post left Paramount after 5 shorts, replaced by James "Shamus" Culhane. Here, though, is the opener, "Shoeflies". Now, you tell me if Shari didn't recycle Lamb Chop's voice for Honey........
Rating: B.
