Talk:Mr. Peebles

Is he really called Melvin? -- MisterJames (talk) 17:23, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I couldn't find a source to back this up. Maybe it was mentioned in the series? -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 17:29, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

While I didn't watch, I didn't listen to every episode and I only heard him be called Mr. Peebles. -- MisterJames (talk) 16:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I've watched every episode and didn't hear that first name be mentioned. Perhaps it could've also been mentioned in a comic (since Magilla had comics), but even that sounds just as doubtful. I've removed it awhile ago when I couldn't find a official source mentioning it. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 17:26, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

BTW, you actually can view some of the comics here. It's free to do so. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 17:37, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, Peebles is similar to Cosmo Spacely from The Jetsons in some ways; Both are short men with short-tempers, both are a similar shape, both are balding, both own a company with their name in it and both usually yell at the person that irritates them the most. One of the only differences is that Spacely isn't altogether miserable to the point where he nearly ended his life in one episode (which Peebles nearly did). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:51, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

In Nightwing/Magilla Gorilla Special, he's called Mel, so obviously this name has come from somewhere, we just don't know where it came from. -- MisterJames (talk) 16:19, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Since there's no HB sources to Melvin, we're just going to have to assume that Melvin originated in Harvey Birdman. -- MisterJames (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
