Behind the scenes

 * According to a 1982 calendar, he was born on September 30th.
 * In his first few appearances on The Quick Draw McGraw Show, he is depicted as more of an antagonist.
 * It is rumored by many that Snagglepuss could presumably be gay based on his flowery accent, his interest in theatrical and his lavender fur color.
 * Co-creator Joseph Barbera was in denial of the rumor, insisting that the character was modeled after Bert Lahr and was indeed not gay because "he beat his wife." When in the Johnny Bravo writers room, he playfully threatened Steve Marmel's life when he insinuated Snagglepuss to be gay, warning him "A Sicilian never forgets."

In popular culture

 * In the Robot Chicken skit "Laff-A-Munich" segment of the episode "Ban on the Fun", Snagglepuss informs the world about the tragic fate of the Yogi Yahooeys after they were all killed by the Really Rottens, muttering the infamous phrase "They're all gone". He is never seen again after this scene, leaving his fate unknown. He is voiced by Victor Yerrid for this skit.
 * In the Saturday Night Live episode "Paul Rudd/Beyonce," Snagglepuss (played by Bobby Moynihan) was a guest on "Weekend Update," where he gives his thoughts on California's ban on same sex marriage. After being "outed" by Seth Myers, he reveals he is in a relationship with the Great Gazoo, (played by Will Forte).
