In 1966, Hanna-Barbera and Larry Harmon collaborated on a series of short cartoons starring animated caricatures of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. The plots resembled those of Hanna-Barbera's earlier comedy shorts.
Overview
Larry Harmon, the man who made Bozo the Clown a household name, had acquired the rights to the likenesses of the famous comedy duo from Stan and Eda Laurel, and Oliver Hardy's widow, Lucille, in 1961. (A large part of the profits from the cartoon series would eventually go to Stan Laurel's widow, Eda.)
Harmon's company, which had previously produced the Bozo animated cartoons and many of the made-for-TV Popeye cartoons under contract from King Features, began animating The Laurel and Hardy Comedy Show around the same time that producer David L. Wolper contracted with Hanna-Barbera to produce another series after Laurel's death.
Laurel and Hardy later appeared as guests in "The Ghost of Bigfoot", an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
