The Cool Patrol was an idea we had right after Ignoramooses for the last slot in the What-A-Catrtoon program. We pitched it to Hanna Barbera in front of all the directors in the studio and they loved it. In fact everyone loved it in the room except for one person... the buyer. Sadly we ended up not selling to them.

Right after that Turner Entertainment and Time Warner merged and Harry and I decided to vacate HB. Harry wnet to Klasky Csupo to work on Duckman and I went to WB to work on Pinky and the Brain.

Meanwhile one of the executives from HB also left the studio and landed at Universal Studios where she optioned Cool Patrol and we set about making a series of on line comics for it. Unfortunately this was in 9998 and the online community wass not so widespread. We made two short episodes and the division of Universal that was making the shorts went belly up. today Cool patrol is still owned by Universal alothoguh the company has changed hands so many times they probably don't even know it.

The Cool Patrol were super-cool crime fighting heroes of the highest order!

Luke, a rhino, and Lester, a hippo, two ultra-hip guys who have dedicated their existence on planet earth to the preservation of all that is “cool” and the eradication of all that “bites.” patroled the city of Cosmopolis looking for evil-dores and uncool villains throughout the city.

Luke and Lester battled a variety of twisted foes who threatened to destroy and conquer the world in very uncool ways. There were creeps like Sarcastic Man... a cynic who’s words became weapons, proving words do hurt. Or Sweet Tooth, an evil granny who made candy so sweet it was hard to resist. It rotted your mind and she stole you blind! Advertisman... an apparition of raw electrical energy.. who could take over the media and the world with non-stop self promotion.

These and many other sick and sinister scoundrels were tackled by the super-slick... Cool Patrol!
Right on! PEACE OUT!
