Got this message today on Facebook:

ha ha i was sort of in a hurry helping the boys clean up the play room. i said please pick up your dudley do right and shady backflash. they said whaaaaaa?! ha ha i meant snidely whiplash. pre-senility!

Snidely Whiplash is the cartoon archvillain to Dudley Do-Right in the Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties segments of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

It’s never occurred to me how similar Shady Backflash is to Snidely Whiplash. Thus far I’ve not tied anyone to any railroad tracks.
