newbie Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 What did Yosemite Sam do? My dd asked the other day and I was clueless. I told her I would ask the hive, but along with being clueless, I am memoryless(is that a word). Jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping In Puddles Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yosemite Sam was officially a cowboy but according to Wikepedia: Though officially a cowboy, Freleng put Sam in a different costume in almost every film: a knight, a Roman legionary, a pirate, a royal cook, a prison guard, a duke (Duke of Yosemite, no less), a Confederate soldier, and even a space alien. The humor of the cartoons inevitably springs from the odd miscasting of the hot-tempered cowboy. However, some countries seem to prefer his pirate incarnation, as "Sam the pirate" is his official name in France[2] and a frequent alternative name in Italy. During World War II Yosemite Sam was "drafted" into becoming a mascot emblem for the US Army Air Corps 20th Reconnaissance Squadron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
