This is Bonkers D. Bobcat, the main character of the series, as he appeared in seasons 1 and 3
(also called "Piquel episodes" after Bonkers' partner, Lucky Piquel, or "Taylor episodes" after the producer, Robert Taylor).
Occupation: Police Officer; used to be a popular actor starring in slapstick comedies and westerns.
Distinctive marks: A bobcat with large black eyes and a surprisingly long bushy tail.
Disposition: Eccentric and hyper-emotional, but not stupid. His toon logic often helps him solve the cases using weird methods a human would never think of.
Known friends: Lucky Piquel (partner), Fall Apart Rabbit, Toots, Police Light, Police Radio, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Professor Ludwig von Drake.
Signature phrase: "Silly me!"
Note: This is the final version of the character. When speaking of Bonkers, people usually mean the "Taylor episodes". All three video games are based on seasons 1 and 3; the video cassettes contain only "Piquel episodes"; collectable pins, porcelain figures and other merchandise portray Bonkers the way he looked in this part of the series.
The screenshots are from the episodes made by Walt Disney Television Animation (Australia), Kennedy Cartoons and Walt Disney Animation (Japan), respectively.
