Barney Bear just didn't get enough love from MGM.
In effect, he was the antithesis of other stars of his era. He was always made to look like a fool, even as a protagonist, such as in 1953's "Cobs & Robbers", a remake of Dick Lundy's 1945 Andy Panda entry, "Crow Crazy".
Luckily, when Spire Christian Comics obtained a license to use Barney in the 70's & 80's in a series of 1-shots, he finally was a winner.
Here's "Cobs & Robbers":
This has aired recently on Me-TV, but I can't recall when it's aired on Cartoon Network/Boomerang.
Rating: B.
