The Slag Brothers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Slag Brothers, Rock and Gravel, are characters from the cartoon series Wacky Races. They are covered with hair and ride along in a stone vehicle called the Boulder Mobile, hitting each other with their clubs. Most of their "speech" is grunts, but they do speak limited English. Their voices were provided by Daws Butler and Don Messick.

When Jerry Eisenberg originally designed the Slag Brothers, he drew only one caveman. Joseph Barbera liked the design, but the next day he said he wanted two cavemen. Their design was recycled almost a decade later for Captain Caveman. The Slags appeared years later in the Wacky Races video game, where they were both voiced by Jim Cummings.
