[edit] Fictional character biography
Cheater speaks with a Southern accent. A chain-smoker, his head was always enwreathed by smoke. In fact, in his second and final short a bucket of water is thrown at him, and instead of dissipating the smoke cloud simply gets wet and droops, as if it were solid.
Gunsmoke first appears in the eponymously titled short Cheater Gunsmoke, in which he attempts to steal cigarettes and cigars from Grumbles Department Store. Detective Hemlock Holmes (a British bulldog) and the Retouchables are assigned by Tracy (voiced by Everett Sloane) to pursue and apprehend him.
