History[]
Touché Turtle
Touché Turtle (voiced by Bill Thompson) and Dum Dum (voiced by Alan Reed) were a pair of heroic fencers who battle villains and heroically save kings, queens, maidens and others in distress. Touché was the brave and dashing leader, whereas Dum Dum the dog was more of a simple-minded follower. Touché often brandished his trusty sword and exclaimed his catchphrase, "Touché away!"
During the run of the show, Touché Turtle used a standard fencing foil as a weapon. But in the opening title sequence, Touché Turtle used a firehose against a fire-breathing dragon, quick evasive moves to tie up an octopus, and a fencing foil made of a nonconductive material against a sentient lightning bolt.
