Touché Turtle


 * For the Little Golden Book, see Touché Turtle.

Touché Turtle is an anthropomorphic turtle and the title character in the Touché Turtle and Dum Dum animated television shorts. His voice was originated by Bill Thompson.

Character description
Touché is a green turtle wearing a white musketeer hat with a magenta-colored plumage. He carries a fencing foil with a bent tip. The insides of his shell also carry a small emergency telephone, which would ring when he recieves an emergency call from someone.

Touché is a brave and noble leader in his own right, but is not entirely competent as he is prone to face any accidents. He immediately takes on missions with his simple-minded follower, Dum Dum, and is clearly the smarter of the two.

Development
Early in development, the character of Touché was originally going to be a swashbuckling rabbit named "Hairbrain Hare" (or "Harbreath Hare" in one of the illustrations). A design of a turtle resembling Touché was also created around this time, likely as a sidekick to "Hairbrain" or a third character, but it was later proposed that Touché would be made as a turtle instead. According to writer Tony Benedict, the concept of "Hairbrain Hare" was repurposed years later for the western-themed Ricochet Rabbit.

In popular culture

 * In the Comic Book Men episode "Turtle Time," says that Touché is his favorite original turtle.
