Fangface
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fangface was a 1978 Saturday morning cartoon produced by Ruby-Spears Productions for ABC.
Highly derivative of Scooby-Doo, which was also created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, Fangface features four teenagers (Kim, Biff, Puggsy, and Sherman "Fangs" Fangsworth, who transforms into a werewolf named 'Fangface" when he sees the moon) (or an image of the moon) who solve spooky mysteries involving ghosts and ghouls. Fangface usually immediately attacks Puggsy upon transforming, before taking a moment to recognize his friend. (He's not very bright in either form). The sun (or a picture of the sun) transforms Fangface back into Fangs. Despite the temporary difficulty of Fangface attacking Puggsy, the gang never hestiate to initiatiate the transformation to take advantage of the werewolf's power to cope with any danger.
Fangface and Fangs are unaware of each other, but Fangface lives in the moment, so he never seems to question why he's suddenly in a new place, but Fangs is always bewildered upon reversion. Fangs' cousin, Baby Fangs also turns into a werewolf named Fangpuss. Frank Welker does both voices of Fangface and Fangpuss.
This show regularly salutes Joe E. Ross. In either form, when Fangs/Fangface talks, he often goes "Ooh, Ooh".
