Slowpoke Rodriguez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slowpoke Rodriguez, the Slowest Mouse in all of Mexico

Slowpoke Rodríguez is a fictional animated cartoon mouse, part of the Looney Tunes' cast. He is described as "the slowest mouse in all Mexico", and cousin to Speedy Gonzales, who is known as the fastest. His voice was provided by an uncredited Tom Holland.

Slowpoke only appeared in two cartoons alongside his cousin. The first, "Mexicali Shmoes" (1959), ends with two lazy cats learning the hard way that Slowpoke carries a gun (though the gun bit has been edited out of future airings of this cartoon in recent years). The second, "Mexican Boarders" (1962), revolves around Speedy trying to protect Slowpoke from Sylvester the cat, but in the end, Slowpoke demonstrates his ability to hypnotize Sylvester into becoming his slave. This short (which was later edited into Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales) contains a possible allusion to a marijuana habit when Slowpoke sings La Cucaracha.
