One plot that often was used in cartoons was a riff on Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. We saw this with Sylvester & Tweety and Bugs Bunny at WB, for example.
At Hanna-Barbera, the classic novel was central to a season 1 plot of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, but the classic was parodied 7 years later in the series finale of Mumbly.
The canine detective (Don Messick) meets Dr. Seek (Messick again), with the predictable results.
In a way, this deviated from the Droopy-inspired format, but not by much.
Rating: B.
