![]() ![]() The "guitar" was usually drawn as a four stringed quatro. His introduction went as follows – "Of all the heroes in legend and song, there's none as brave as El Kabong" – As El Kabong, Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping down on a rope with the onomatopoeiac war cry "OLAYYYYEEEE!" and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar (after shouting "KABOOOOOONG!") which is always referred to as a "kabonger", producing a distinctive kabong sound and usually destroying the guitar in the process. In certain cases, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of the masked vigilante El Kabong (a parody of Zorro, known in the Spanish-dubbed version as "El Caba-Zorro"). This aspect was made light of in the 1980s made-for-television film ' The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound, which featured Quick Draw. This did not stop the show's producers from depicting him riding into town on a realistic horse, or, as seen in the show's opening credits, driving a stagecoach pulled by a whole team of realistic horses.

In the Brazilian version however, Quick Draw speaks in a drawling Portuguese which along with his hispanized name (Pepe Legal) would suggest he was either a Texan-American or Mexican cowboy. In the Spanish American version, Quick Draw (Tiro Loco McGraw) speaks in a very English-influenced accent, and Baba Looey (Pepe Trueno, or Pepe Luis in some episodes) speaks in a very Mexican accent, so it was clear that Quick Draw was the alien, and there was no need to adapt any feature of the story. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro called Baba Looey (also voiced by Butler) who spoke Mexican with a Mexican accent. ![]() Quick Draw was usually depicted as a sheriff in a series of short films set in the Old West. ![]()
