Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare is an animated cartoon duo created by Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios. Essentially a clone of The Tortoise and the Hare, they both appeared in theatrical animated shorts during the 1950s, beginning with Winner by a Hare in 1953.

Tommy & Moe and the other original Famous characters were purchased by Harvey Comics in 1958, who continued to promote the characters under the name Harveytoons.

Moe Hare's name was most likely derived from the word "mohair."
