Proposed Appearances
Dastardly and Muttley were to appear in the series The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, where they (especially Dastardly) would have been perfect villains given the tone and the Perils of Pauline references, rather they were imagined to be the bodyguards of a younger brother of Penelope. However, this was only in the first sketches of the series, and the two did not appear in the final work. At one of their encounters, the Hooded Claw did ask Penelope, "Were you expecting Dick Dastardly?" possibly in reference to the above unshot scene.
In the unaired pilot of the new Wacky Races series, Wacky Races Forever, Dastardly and Muttley would have been the main villains, working for the vice-president of Perfect Industries, in an attempt to stop the other racers from crossing the finish line. Unfortunately, the series was not picked up.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or appearances:
“On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoods of Maine,... I proposed to make excursions to Mount Ktaadn, the second highest mountain in New England, about thirty miles distant, and to some of the lakes of the Penobscot, either alone or with such company as I might pick up there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
