Tom Slick is the cartoon star of a series of shorts that aired within the half-hour, animated television series George of the Jungle (ABC, 1967). It was the work of Jay Ward Productions, the creators of Rocky & Bullwinkle and other satiric animated characters.
Freckled, all-American racecar-driver Tom Slick (voiced by Bill Scott) competes in various races with his trusty vehicle, the Thunderbolt Greaseslapper. He is accompanied by his girlfriend Marigold (June Foray) and his elderly mechanic Gertie Growler (Scott). His antagonist is Baron Otto Matic (Paul Frees) and his lackey Clutcher (Daws Butler), whom the Baron had a penchant for hitting across the head with a monkey wrench. Seventeen six-minute episodes were made.
In comic books, Tom Slick appeared as a backup feature in Gold Key Comics' two-issue George of the Jungle title (1969).
