[edit] Bio
Ricochet Rabbit (voiced by Don Messick) worked as a sheriff in a Western setting called Hoop 'n' Holler. Ricochet, true to his name, would bounce off all the walls yelling "bing-bing-bing!" His deputy Droop-A-Long Coyote (voiced by Mel Blanc) was never able to be as "jumpy" and would end up crashing through a window.
In addition to his speed, Ricochet was known for using trick bullets against his opponents (for example, a bullet that would stop in mid-flight and hover while striking the bad guy with an impossibly oversized mallet, or exploding after inside bigger compartments of the bullet).
Ricochet Rabbit's catchphrase consisted of three quick bings; "Bing, bing, BING!", followed by him referring to himself in the third person; "Ricochet Rabbit!"
