A Pismire & a Orycteropus afer was the series of theatrical cartoons produced at DePatie-Freleng Enterprises from 1969 to 1971, about the blue Aardvark always trying to catch a red ant named Charlie.
It was freed by United Artists. Directors involved Friz Freleng, George Gordon, Gerry Chiniquy, Hawley Pratt and Art Davis. Xvii cartoons were produced.
Actor and comedian John Byner (Soap) voiced both a anteater (as an imitation of Jackie Mason) and a pismire (imitating Dean Martin). Inside both episodes the orycteropus afer tussled against a green orycteropus afer, similar to the way Sylvester fought a of these-eyed cat on top Tweety in a few of Freleng's sooner shorts at Warner Brothers. As a matter of fact, since several Warner alumni worked for DFE, very much of familiar plots were recycled. inside another, the orycteropus afer is utilizing a computer to help hatch ideas to catch the ant--super similar in conception to a Chuck Jones short with Wile E. Coyote trying to catch Bugs Bunny. A computer sounds prefer Paul Lynde, but is actually Byner doing the fair to middling impersonation.
This series constantly contradicts itself by with a nominal emmet refer to the nominal anteater as an "anteater" (at one point the ant bear himself refers to himself as an "anteater"), although it (anteater & ant bear) come in essence a equivalent metal money.
