No. 4: Pistol Pete of Wyoming

Name of Show: Looney Saloons

Network: Cartoon Network

Voiceover By: Bryan Cranston

Yosemite Sam needs some kind of competition. Much like Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam is a forever failure in his attempts to take down his opponent. Towns need another cowboy to take some of the burden off of Sam. That’s where Pistol Pete comes into play. Although he’s not an upgrade from Sam, Pete has the ability to be stealthy, a quality envied by Yosemite Sam.

The set of Looney Saloons is in no other place but a dilapidated saloon in rural Wyoming. It’s where the tired go to refuel and where outlaws go to hideout. It’s also the preferred rendezvous point of Pete, who regularly conducts business at the Looney Saloon. The overall aesthetic of the bar resembles a place where John Wayne and Jesse James used to kick it. The same goes for Pete, who calls the Looney Saloon his second home.

Unfortunately, that saloon was just sold to the new mayor coming into town. Once the sale is closed, the mayor plans to use the place as his headquarters and, unpredictably, Pete isn’t too thrilled about it. In order to stall the move-in, Pete confides in some of his townies to trash the surrounding area with public displays of betting and promiscuity. Those kind of conditions make the place seem uninhabitable, especially to a mayor.

Outside of those shenanigans, Pete’s just a regular guy, who lives a comfortable life as a ranch hand. Despite being without a wife and kids, Pete has always called the gravel roads of rural Wyoming home. He religiously dabbles in poker while being accompanied by his favorite oak-colored vice. It’s a rather quiet, no-hassle life for Pete, one of the area’s most prized cowboys, in Looney Saloons.
