Is this The Infamous SoDak??

Nope. It's not. But it is a really cool painted textural monster character from Johnny Quest - a notoriously "efficient" limited animated series from 1960's era Hanna-Barbara. This was a integral part of tv watching when I was a wee lad. Watching them for educational and nostalgic purposes, I noticed how simple the writing was - plot? sort of. I don't think it would stand up to contemporary market audiences. Psycologists would have a field day with the cast though, as would PC-sticklers. For students, there's a great mummy-walk cycle in the opening credits - it can be found on youtube, of course. Check it.

As for the SoDak, more study is needed to locate the elusive beast. Reported to appear in Brookings, SD October 8-10 this Fall!
