| • | Quick Draw McGraw is the name of a fictional cartoon horse, created by Hanna-Barbera and the star of The Quick Draw McGraw Show, Hanna-Barbera's third show produced for television after success with The Ruff & Reddy Show and The Huckleberry Hound Show. The show debuted in 1959; Quick Draw was voiced by voice actor Daws Butler.
Quick Draw was usually depicted in his shorts (which were set in the American Old West) as a sheriff. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro named Baba Looey, who spoke with a stereotypical Spanish accent, and was also voiced by Butler.

This aspect was made light of in the 1980s made-for-television film The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound, which featured Quick Draw.
In a series of episodes, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of the masked vigilante, "El Kabong" (a parody of Zorro). As El Kabong, Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping d
