This short (which was later edited into Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales) contains a possible allusion to a marijuana habit when Slowpoke sings La Cucaracha.

Literal translation "The roach, the roach, can't walk any more, because it needs, because it needs, marijuana to smoke"

On a other note this character is an icon of rasism, while in fact this stupid article only shows he has been in two shows and is the cousin to the every so fast mouse. -AtomicN

  • He was intended only to represent the antithesis of Speedy, nothing more. Sometimes a mouse is just a mouse. —Ortchel 06:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

this article should be either merged with Speedy Gonzales or deleted because the article makes no sense MrJanitor1 12:22 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. Slowpoke deserves his own page. While he may not have appeared in many cartoons, he has become larger then life in that he has spawned much merchandise. I myself have a number of items with him on it. One is a collecters glass from the 70's that sells for 50 plus dollars on ebay all the time. I also don't feel that the volume of work should determine any real or ficional characters worthiness for their own Wiki page. I would say your average person in America has heard of him, while thousands of real life people have their own page even though their obscure to all except their own small niche. This of course doesn't mean that this page is well written, only that it should exist. Deepintexas (talk) 02:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Oppose - I agree with DeepinTexas, he is one of the more memorable WB minor characters. I still remember when he shot Jose, and can recite the lines. --- Jeremy (talk) 08:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
