(Without the scream, the rope, or the sound effects, this would also be reprised by several professional wrestlers, referred to then either under the name of El Kabong or as the 'Acoustic Equalizer'.) On the cartoon's soundtrack, the 'kabong' sound effect was produced by a foley artist striking the detuned open strings of a cheap acoustic guitar. The 'guitar' was usually drawn as a four stringed quatro. As El Kabong, Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping down on a rope with the onomatopoeiac war cry 'KABOOOOOONG!', or, at times, 'OLAYYYYEEEE!' and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar which is always referred to as a 'kabonger', producing a distinctive 'kabong' sound and usually destroying the guitar in the process.

In a series of episodes, Quick Draw would also assume the identity of the masked vigilante 'El Kabong' (a parody of Zorro). This aspect was made light of in the 1980s made-for-television film ' The Good, the Bad, and Huckleberry Hound', which featured Quick Draw. This did not stop the show's producers from depicting him riding into town on a realistic horse, or, as seen in the show's opening credits, driving a stagecoach pulled by a whole team of realistic horses. Quick Draw was himself a horse caricature who walked on two legs like a human (as did Baba Looey), and had 'hands' that were hooves with thumbs and could hold objects such as guns. (Both teams vaguely referencing the classic team of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza) It was clear, however, that Baba Looey was much smarter than Quick Draw but loyal to a fault, similar to the earlier Hanna-Barbera pairing of the whimsical Yogi Bear and his practical sidekick Boo-Boo. Baba Looey would start to tell Quick Draw what he was thinking: 'Queeks Draw, I theen.', whereupon Quick Draw would interrupt with his catchphrase: 'Now hoooooold on thar, Baba Looey! I'll do the 'thinnin'' around here, and doooon't you forget 'e-it'!' Quick Draw spoke with a heavy drawl, as shown by his catchphrase. Often, Baba Looey was a more astute judge of the problem at hand than Quick Draw. His character was well-intentioned, but somewhat dim. Quick Draw satirized the westerns that were popular among the American public at the time. In the Latin-American version, Quick Draw (Tiro Loco McGraw) speaks in a very English-influenced accent, and Baba Looey (Pepe Trueno) speaks in a very Mexican accent, so it was clear that Quick Draw was the alien, and there was no need to adapt any feature of the story. Quick Draw was often accompanied by his deputy, a Mexican burro called Baba Looey ( Desi Arnaz had a hit song in the 1950s called ' Babalu'), who spoke English with a Mexican accent and was also voiced by Butler. Each episode was approximately six minutes long this allowed four episodes per half-hour program with commercial advertisements in between. Quick Draw was usually depicted as a sheriff in these short films set in the American Old West. Currently, the show is aired on the Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang. Television (through their 1996 purchase of Turner). Screen Gems originally syndicated the series, followed later by Rhodes Productions, Taft H-B Program Sales, Worldvision Enterprises, then Turner Broadcasting, and now Warner Bros. Michael Maltese crafted most of the episode stories. The show debuted in 1959, voice actor Daws Butler performed the lead character, Quick Draw. Quick Draw McGraw is the anthropomorphic cartoon horse starring in 'The Quick Draw McGraw Show', the third cartoon television production created by Hanna-Barbera following their success with ' The Ruff & Reddy Show' and ' The Huckleberry Hound Show'.
